Why does air travel faster in water?

As opposed to travelling in what? But if you mean sound then its because sound is - technically speaking - a vibration of the molecules. It is slower in air because the molecules are farther away from each other, and thus the molecules take much longer to interact. In water, the molecules are closer together, and therefore pass on the vibration quicker. This also relates to why water takes sound much farther as opposed to air. :)

What is the polarity of glass?

I did not mean to come across this and answer, but while I am here, yes. Glass is polar and results in the meniscus one would see in a glass test tube. This polarity is however not the reason one might notice they can fill a glass of water above the top (the reason for that is the attraction between the water molecules themselves). These two examples are great for explaining the difference between adhesion (former) and cohesion (latter). I hope this helped!
