a single beam of white light shine through this glass triangular prism below: What is happening to the speed of light as it moves from the air to the glass of the prism? options: The speed of light is increasing, creating the rainbow effect. The speed of light is decreasing, creating the rainbow effect. The speed of light does not change, only the angle creates the rainbow. The speed of light does not change, the rainbow is created because the prism is made of glass.
