Q10.14 Let us list some of the factors, which could possibly influence the speed of wave propagation:
(i) nature of the source.
(ii) direction of propagation.
(iii) motion of the source and/or observer.
(iv) wavelength.
(v) intensity of the wave.
On which of these factors, if any, does
(b) the speed of light in a medium (say, glass or water), depend?
The speed of light in any medium depends upon the wavelength of the light and does not depends on the nature of the source, direction of propagation, the motion of the source and/or observer, and intensity of the wave.
