Solution

The correct option is B False
The speed as well as the wavelength of colour changes when the light of that colour is travelling in different media.
The frequency is determined by the energy possessed by the light, when light travels in different media its energy remains the same as a result there will be no change in frequency.
Hence, the frequency associated with colour does not change when the light of that colour is travelling in different media.
Hence, the statement of the question is false.

Q. The colour of light that travels with maximum speed in the glass is:

Statement 1: When white light ray passes through a prism, it disperses into seven different colours, and this phenomenon is called dispersion.

Statement 2: In a refracting media, lights of different colour travel at different speed.

Q. Is colour depend on the wavelength all frequency? if it depends on frequency then why the refractive index of different colour of light are different while refractive index is independent of frequency?? If it depends on the wavelength then on the refraction why the colour of the light doesn't change??

Q. Does the colour of light depend on frequency or wavelength?

if it depends on wavelength then why when a ray of red light changes medium, its colour does not change but its wavelength changes?

How speed of different light colour affect refraction or bending when change in medium for red colour it bend very little and violet colour bend very more when passes through prism so how bending works for different light colour?
