Light composed of multiple frequencies passes through crown glass. (a) How much faster does the violet component

Question:

Light composed of multiple frequencies passes through crown glass.

(a) How much faster does the violet component of the light with a wavelength of 410 nm travel in the crown glass than the component of orange light with a wavelength of 610 nm?

(b) In a mechanical situation with friction, the longer one surface moves relative to the other, the more the friction acts, slowing the relative motion during the process. Is this the same for light in a medium?

(c) In a mechanical situation, it is possible for friction to stop the motion if it occurs over a long enough path. Is this the same for light in a medium? 

(d) In a mechanical friction situation, once the object slows it will not increase in speed once the friction no longer acts unless another force is present. If a light ray exits a medium into a vacuum, will it go back to a speed of c even though that would be an increase in speed not caused by an additional force?
