When white light enters a prism,it gets split into its constituent colours. This is due to

  • A
    High density of prism material
  • B
    Because $\mu$ is different for different $\lambda$
  • C
    Diffraction of light
  • D
    Velocity changes for different frequencies

The refractive index of flint glass for blue $F$ line is $1.6333$ and red $C$ line is $1.6161.$ If the refractive index for yellow $D$ line is $1.622,$ the dispersive power of the glass is

Let us list some of the factors,which could possibly influence the speed of wave propagation:
$(i)$ nature of the source.
$(ii)$ direction of propagation.
$(iii)$ motion of the source and/or observer.
$(iv)$ wavelength.
$(v)$ intensity of the wave.
On which of these factors,if any,does
$(a)$ the speed of light in vacuum,
$(b)$ the speed of light in a medium (say,glass or water),depend?
