Different colors are the result of different what?
varying speeds different colors of light travel
Is it true that a vacuum different color of light travel at different speeds?
No, that is not true. In a vacuum, all electromagnetic waves travel at the same speed.
Are wave speeds dependent on material?
Yes, wave speeds are dependent on the material through which the wave is propagating. Different materials have different properties that affect how quickly a wave can travel through them. For example, sound waves travel faster in solids than in liquids or gases. Similarly, electromagnetic waves, such as light, travel at different speeds in different mediums, with the speed being fastest in a vacuum.
How does the prism separate white light into colors?
It is due to the differing frequencies of colors of light. The different frequencies of light actually travel at different speeds,through a medium such as glass. When the light enters glass at an angle, the different speeds of each frequency cause the light to bend. Each color exits the glass at their own unique angle and separate.
Light will bend as it does what?
Light bends, when it light travels at different speeds in different mediums. Hope that helps.
Does light travel at different speeds through different materials?
no
How do different colors of light travel?
Different Colors Of Light Travel At Different Speeds.
Different colors are the result of different what?
varying speeds different colors of light travel
Why does light refract?
Because light travels at different velocities, and various colors of light also travel at different speeds in optical media.
Is it true that a vacuum different color of light travel at different speeds?
No, that is not true. In a vacuum, all electromagnetic waves travel at the same speed.
When sound and light travel in different materials what changes?
Light travels through a non-mechanical wave, meaning lightwaves don't travel through anything so it never slows or speeds up. The denser the object's molecules are, the faster sounds go through it.
How does light refract?
it refracts because it travels in different velocities and other colors of light travel in different speeds When light crosses a boundary between mediums, it changes speeds, and it bends or changes the angle that it is travailing at when it crosses the boundary.
What evidence is there that light travels at diff speeds?
Dispersion phenomenon establishes that light of different colours travel at different speed in a denser medium. Light traverses at different speed in different media is confirmed by the refraction phenomenon.

Is it true that different kinds of E-M waves travel through space at different speeds?
No. All E-M waves travel through space at the same speed, known as the"Speed of Light".
What is the Speed of light travelling through transparent material?
Translucent materials allow all the light to pass through but the light does not form images or obey Snell's law.
