X-ray and visible light travel at the same speed in vacuum. Do they travel at the same speed in glass?

When light travels through a medium from vacuum, its speed

Assertion (A): Sunlight reaches us without dispersion in the form of white light and not as its components. Reason (R): Dispersion takes place due to variation of refractive index for different wavelength but in vacuum the speed of light is independent of wavelength and hence vacuum is a non dispersive medium.

Can light travel in vacuum ? If yes, with what speed ?

A : Light waves can be polarised. R : All electromagnetic waves move with same speed in vacuum.

If light travels from vacuum to water, its wavelength

Light is an electromagnetic wave. Its speed in vacuum is given by the expression
