Orange light travels faster than yellow light Yellow light travels faster than orange light Orange and yellow light ravels equally fast We cannot determine which colour of light travels faster |
Orange light travels faster than yellow light |
The velocity of light is inversely proportional to the index of refraction v = $\frac{c}{n}$, So, the lower the n, the higher the v. According to table, Cutson glass has a slightly lower n for orange light than it has for yellow light. Therefore, inside Cutson glass, orange light travels slightly faster. |
