The dispersion of light into its component colors by a prism is due to __________.
Select one:
a. The decrease in the speed of light in the prism
b. Total internal reflection
c. Polarization of light
d. The variation of the indices of refraction of the colors of light
Definition Definition Rate at which light travels, measured in a vacuum. The speed of light is a universal physical constant used in many areas of physics, most commonly denoted by the letter c . The value of the speed of light c = 299,792,458 m/s, but for most of the calculations, the value of the speed of light is approximated as c = 3 x 10 8 m/s.
