Why red light travels fast then violet in transparent medium??

Open in App

Solution

Verified by Toppr

Red light has high wavelength thus it has more velocity while for violet colour it has least wavelength so it has least velocity when white light is passed through a transparent medium
thus

Red light travels the $f a s t e s t$ in a transparent medium and violet light travels the $s l o w e s t$ of all the colous
