In vacuum, red light travels faster than others.

Vedclass · Answer

(C) In a vacuum, all electromagnetic waves, regardless of their frequency or wavelength, travel at the same speed, which is $c \approx 3 	imes 10^8 \ m/s$. Therefore, the statement that red light travels faster than other colours in a vacuum is incorrect, as all colours of white light travel at the same speed in a vacuum. Option $A$ is correct because violet light has the shortest wavelength and experiences the most deviation. Option $B$ is correct because the refractive index for red light is lower than that for violet light in any material medium, implying $v = c/n$ is higher for red light. Option $D$ is correct because flint glass has a higher dispersive power and generally higher refractive indices than crown glass.
