The speed of light in water is approx 225,400,000 metres per second. Its speed in kerosene is 215,700,000 metres per seconds. So it travels around 4.5% faster in water.

Which spreads faster on the floor water or kerosene?
Water spreads faster. Kerosene is an oild with higher viscosity.
Is it possible to travel at the speed of light in water?
The speed of light in water is less than the speed of light in space. Only light can travel at the speed of light.
Why kerosene float on water?
Kerosene is less dense than water.
Why is it not advisable to pour water on a kerosene caused fire?
Pouring water on a kerosene fire may cause splashes of hot/burning kerosene and water to splatter, due to the fact that kerosene is not miscible in water.
Are kerosene and oil soluble?
No. Kerosene is an organic compound. and water is a non-organic compound. (kerosene : non-polar Water : polar). As water is a polar solvent kerosene is not soluble in it. but kerosene is soluble in ethyl alcohol which is a non-polar solvent.
Which spreads faster on the floor water or kerosene?
Water spreads faster. Kerosene is an oild with higher viscosity.
Light waves travel more as they enter water?
yes they travel faster :)
Why light travel faster in air than water?
Water is denser than air . Hence light travels faster in air than water.
Does light travel more faster or slower as they enter water?
Slower in water.
Does sound or light travel faster through water?
Light travels much faster than sound, through wood.
Is it true that kerosene faster to dissolved salt than water?
No, salts are insoluble in kerosene oil.
Can light waves travel better in water or air?
Since air has a lower optical density than water, light waves can travel faster in air.
Does light travel faster through air water vacuum or glass?
it travels faster through air.
What do light waves travel more through when they enter water?
they travel faster. Light waves travel more QUICKLY as they enter water. ^^ whoever done this;; thanks! i really needed the answer....
Does light travel faster in diamond or water?
Light travels slower through denser media, so it travels faster through water than through a diamond.
Do light waves travel faster through air than it does through water?
yes
What material would a light wave travel faster than through water?
Air.
