the same speed before and after, but slower while it's inside the glass.

∙ 11y agoWhen light rays pass through a lens, they can be refracted (bent) and converge or diverge. The speed of light in a medium like glass is slower than in a vacuum, so the light slows down as it enters the lens. A prism can separate white light into a spectrum by refracting light of different wavelengths at different angles.
when dispersed through a prism: Visible spectrum of light (rainbow) part of (very small fraction) electromagnets spectrum
Visible light is a small part of the electromagnetic spectrum.
Electromagnetic waves are self-propagating disturbances in electric and magnetic fields. These fields are intimately connected by Maxwell's equations, which show that changes in one field generate the other. The speed of light emerges as a fundamental property of these two fields, and thus electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light in a vacuum.
Yes, gamma rays travel at the speed of light, which is approximately 299,792 kilometers per second in a vacuum. This is because gamma rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation, like visible light and radio waves, and all forms of electromagnetic radiation travel at the speed of light in a vacuum.
Light falls within the electromagnetic spectrum as a form of electromagnetic radiation. It specifically falls between ultraviolet and infrared radiation, with visible light occupying the wavelengths of 400-700 nanometers.
Yes, light is a form of electromagnetic radiation. It falls within the electromagnetic spectrum and is characterized by its wave-like behavior and ability to travel through a vacuum at the speed of light.

The visible light spectrum ranges from red to violet.

Visible light is a small part of the electromagnetic spectrum.
A prism can form a visible spectrum by refracting light as it passes through the prism. The different colors of light have different wavelengths, causing them to bend at different angles when passing through the prism. This separation of colors creates the visible spectrum.
The colors of the spectrum of light can be split using a prism or a diffraction grating. When white light enters a prism, the different wavelengths of light are refracted by different amounts, causing them to spread out and form a rainbow of colors. This process is called dispersion.
Radio waves form part of the electromagnetic spectrum (which includes all light). They therefore travel at the same speed as x rays, microwaves, and visible light, which is 186 thousand miles per second or 3 million meters per second.
Colored light formed by a prism can be recombined to form white light, as white light is a combination of all the colors in the visible spectrum.
Visible light is a form of electromagnetic radiation that shares properties with the rest of the electromagnetic spectrum, such as traveling at the speed of light, exhibiting wave-particle duality, and being able to be reflected, refracted, and diffracted. Additionally, all forms of electromagnetic radiation, including visible light, can be described by their wavelength and frequency.
