why the velocity of light do not depend on frequency when it is through any environment?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

frequency means oscillations .here light is coming from a source which is oscillating .change of medium does not effect the oscillations of the source.but compulsory velocity changes when medium changes that is why only wavelength changes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you

It does! Velocity of light in glass depends on its frequency: hence dispersion by a prism.
