Question:

Suppose a 20-m-long tube is filled with benzene and the ends sealed off with thin disks of glass. If pulses of red and blue light are admitted simultaneously at one end of the tube, will they emerge from the opposite end together, that is, at the same time? If not, which pulse will arrive at the far end of the tube first? Why?
