Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

Different colors of light travel at greatly different speeds even in the same medium. This is what causes the dispersion of light through a prism.

  • In a vacuum, the speed of light is the same
  • For other mediums, the speed of light depends on the properties of that medium.
  • Light propagation depends on the medium it passes through because the photons of light interacts with the medium.
  • The frequency of light remains the same in all medium but the speed and wavelength depends on the medium.
