It is told that sound cannot travel trough vacuum. Sound can only travel through medium.
f
In a vacuum, all electromagnetic waves have equal velocity.
No - it's a minimum. Zero in fact. Sound can not travel in a vacuum.
Answer = Velocity Velocity is the speed of light and, the speed of light, is a constant among Electromagnetic Radiation in the vacuum of space.
a vacuum (space is pretty much a vacuum). It slows down when it goes through gas, even more through water, glass or diamond (causing refraction or bending of the light).
A2. The velocity of light is greatest in a vacuum. It will travel at a slower speed in a solid such as glass - (or indeed any transparent substance) and the various colours do not all travel at the same velocity. This underlies the dispersion of colours in a prism.A1. Neither, light never slows down. Ever.

Light travels faster through a vacuum. Velocity does not change in a vacuum, so objects retain their original speed and direction unless acted upon by another force, like gravity.
The velocity of light is greatest when travelling through a vacuum. When travelling through something else, a glass material say, then its velocity is slower. The refractive index is the ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum to the speed of light in that substance. For example light travels in a vacuum about 1.3 times as fast as in water, so we say water has a refractive index of 1.3. And it is likely that the velocity in the glass will be different at different wavelengths of light.
The velocity of light in vacuum is a universal constant. A light year is the distance travelled at that velocity in one year. To define a sound year it would be necessary to also specify the precise characteristics of material it is being propagated through. A vacuum won't do, since sound doesn't travel through a vacuum.
