The colour of light which travels through glass with the minimum speed is?
The color of light that travels through glass with the minimum speed is violet. This is because the speed of light in any medium, including glass, is dependent on the medium's refractive index, with shorter wavelengths like violet experiencing a slower speed.
Does the speed of light ever slow down?
The speed of light is different in different substances ... air, water, glass, jello, etc.
When a ray of light from air enters to glass what happens to wavelength?
It will not change. Glass slows light but does not change it frequency.
What does speed change when a ray of light leaves air and enters a piece of glass?
The speed of light slows down ... in general, the denser the material, the lower the speed of light. (For example : air to water to glass.) The maximum speed is in a vacuum.
Which color of visible light travels the slowest through a glass prism?
Violet light tends to travel the slowest through a glass prism due to its shorter wavelength compared to other colors of visible light. This causes violet light to refract more as it enters and exits the glass, resulting in a slower speed.

What travels more slowly in glass red light or violet?
Red light travels more slowly in glass than violet light. This is because the speed of light in a medium is inversely proportional to its wavelength, and red light has a longer wavelength compared to violet light.
How does the average speed of light in glass compass with its speed in a vacuum?
There are several different types of glass, and light has a somewhat different speed in each of them. On the average, the speed of light across all typical types of glass is in the neighborhood of 2/3 its speed in vacuum, or around 200,000 km/sec .
What travels faster through the same medium red light or violet light?
Red light and violet light travel at the same speed in a vacuum, however, they travel at different speeds relative to each other when traveling through any medium other than a vacuum.In most media, violet light has a higher index of refraction (usually denoted with the letter n) than red light. The higher the index of refraction, the slower the light goes compared to its speed in a vacuum. This relationship is governed by the following equation: v = c/n where v is the speed of light in a particular medium, n is the index of refraction of light in that medium, and c is the speed of light in a vacuum. Since red light has a smaller n than violet light in most media, red light travels faster than violet light in most media.The index of refraction is determined by solving Maxwell's equations for a particular frequency and a particular medium using specific boundary conditions.Read more at the link I provided below.http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Which_travels_faster_red_light_or_violet_light#ixzz17j1yTzi6

Where will be speed of light minimum-water or air or vacuum or glass?
The speed of light is minimum in Glass. It is because light travels at minimum speed in solids.
How does the speed of light compare in water glass and diamond?

Why does light bend when it goes through glass at an angle?
Change in speed of the light in glass. Fermat showed that time is invariant in light paths. This results in Light following the Law of Signs. sin(Air Angle)/speed in air = sin( Glass Angle)/speed in glass .
What is it called when glass bends light?
It is called refraction. When light enters a different medium, such as glass, its speed changes, causing the light to change direction, or bend.
