No, the speed of light is not the same in every medium. It slows down when it passes through materials like water or glass.

Is speed of light in vacuum and medium same?

No, light in a medium will travel at a slower speed.


How does the speed of light of different colors passing through the same medium vary?

The speed of light of different colors passing through the same medium remains the same. This is because the speed of light in a medium is constant and does not change based on the color of the light.


Which light has the ACCURATE speed?

ANY light traveling through the same medium (stuff) has the same speed.


Can all wavelengths of light travel at the same velocity in certain mediums?

Yes, all wavelengths of light have the same velocity in every medium. In fact, all types of electromagentic radiation travel at the same speed in a given medium.


Is the speed of light changed when it is reflected back into the same medium?

No.


Which color has the greatest speed in kerosene?

All colors have same speed in a transparent medium or kerosene


When light moves from one medium into another its speed?

Its speed changes but its frequency remains the same.


Can the speed of light be changed?

no. speed of light is always constant . as long as the light stays in the same medium. the speed is generally slightly different in different media.


Why is light not refracted when it is passing through a medium with the same refractive index?

When light passes through a medium with the same refractive index, there is no change in the speed of light, so there is no bending or refraction of light.


Does light always travel at the same speed in all mediums?

No, light does not always travel at the same speed in all mediums. Its speed can vary depending on the medium it is passing through.


Why do waves of different wavelengths travel at the same speed?

Waves of different wavelengths traveling at the same speed is a property of the medium through which they are moving. In a homogeneous medium, such as air or water, the speed of the wave is determined by the properties of that medium, like its density and elasticity. Therefore, waves with different wavelengths will travel at the same speed in that medium.


Is the speed of light is the same in every medium?

No; a denser medium will slow the light down. When the speed of light is quoted, unless otherwise stated, it is implied that it's through a vacuum. The primary example of this is the speed light travels through water or glass. The different speeds are what create the rainbow effect, essentially splitting the light by slowing down different wavelengths at a different rate.
