Detailed Explanation

The intensity of light is related to the amount of energy carried by the light wave. It does not directly affect the speed of light in a dispersive medium. The intensity can influence other phenomena, such as the amplitude of the wave or the number of photons, but it doesn't alter the fundamental speed of light within the medium.

Therefore,In a dispersive medium, the speed of light does depend on other factors such as the wavelength, refractive index, and frequency of light, but it does not depend on the intensity of light.
