MCQ
Light of different colours propagates through air
  • A
    With the velocity of air
  • B
    With different velocities
  • C
    With the velocity of sound
  • Having the equal velocities

Answer

Correct option: D.
Having the equal velocities
d
(d) In vacuum, the speed of light is independent of wave length.

Thus vacuum (or air) is a non dispersive medium in which all colours travel with the same speed.
