What light travels faster?

Light waves do not need a medium in which to travel but sound waves do. Explain that unlike sound, light waves travel fastest through a vacuum and air, and slower through other materials such as glass or water.

Which colour travels fastest and slowest?

Red colour travels fastest and Blue colour travels slowest in glass.

Which color of light travels the most slowly?

Violet light travels slower in glass than red light does.

Which color is faster red or blue?

Red light will travel faster through a dispersive or refractive medium because it is bent less than blue light. Blue light travels slower through glass or water. This is because its shorter wavelength interacts more with the atoms and molecules, and is effectively absorbed and re-radiated.

Which color has the fastest speed?

colour red
When light passes through a prism, they get bent by different amounts and come out all spread out instead of mixing up. The colour violet travels the slowest, so it is on the bottom and the colour red travels the fastest so it is on the top.

Which color light travels faster in medium?

The wavelength of visible light increases from violet to red colour. It is highest for red colour. Hence, red colour travels fastest in any medium except air.

Which travels faster red light or blue light?

The speed of light is designated by the letter c and all the colors in the visible spectrum travel (in a vacuum) this same speed. Since both red and blue light travel at the same speed, you would find more blue waves passing the vertical line each second than red waves because the blue waves are closer together.

Which color is the fastest?

red
Because the colors of light travel at different speeds, they get bent by different amounts and come out all spread out instead of mixed up. Violet travels the slowest so it is on the bottom and red travels the fastest so is on the top.

Which color has the slowest speed?

Violet
The speed of light in vacuum for either wavelength of light is the same. Since refractive index for Red or any other color is smaller than Violet, we can imply that the speed of light in the medium having any refractive index will be the least for Violet.

Which colour has the greatest speed?

The colour violet travels the slowest, so it is on the bottom and the colour red travels the fastest so it is on the top.

What color travels farthest?

red light
Did you know that, in light that is visible, the wavelength of red light is the longest? The light of red color can penetrate to a longer distance than other lights because it is scattered the least by air molecules in the atmosphere and therefore red can actually be seen from the farthest distance!

Which color has the lowest speed?

violet light
In the spectrum of white light, Red light has the longest wavelength and the least frequency (least deviation), which means it has a maximum speed, whereas, violet light has the shortest wavelength and the highest frequency (maximum deviation), which means it has the minimum speed among all the colours in the visible …
