How does the speed of light change from gas to a liquid to a solid?

It depends on the specific gas, liquid, or solid, but in general the index of refraction is higher in solids or liquids than in gases. The speed of light is inversely proportional to the index of refraction.

∙ 10y agoSound waves have higher speed in solid than in liquid than in gas.
In steel: 6000m/s
in water: 1500 m/s
in air: 330 m/s
Shear waves (gulfing, earthquake) have diferent speeds.

∙ 12y agoI think you mean liquid to solid here? But either way, it would slow down.

What happens to the movement of the particles as you change a solid into a liquid?
They increase in speed and randomness.
How is a physical change from solid state to the liquid state caused?
Energy - usually heat energy causes a solid to turn to liquid.
The speed of light is faster in a liquid true or false?
It travels faster in a liquid than in a gas, but it would travel faster still in a solid.
What temperature will an object go from a solid and a liquid?
There is no fixed speed for the transition of a substance from the solid phase to the liquid phase. The maximum speed this can happen at is the speed of light as this is how fast the energy can be transferred to a molecule, and there is no minimum speed. Some substances do not melt into a liquid. Instead they make the transition straight from solid phase into gas phase, and this is called sublimation.
How does particles react when they change from a solid to a liquid and to a gas?
The particles become more energetic, speed up, and spread out more.
When the molecules in a body move with increased speed its possible that the body will change from agas to a liquid gas to a solid liquid to a solid liquid to a gas?
Liquid to gas

When the molecules in a body move with incereased speed its possible that the body will change from a?
That could cause a change from solid to liquid, or from liquid to gas.
When the molecules in a body move with a increased speed it's possible that the body will change from a?

When the molecules in a body move with increased speed its possible that the body will change from a A gas to a liquid B gas to a solid C liquid to a solid D liquid to a gas?
Only one phase change of the four is possible, that of a liquid to a gas. Increased molecular energy is related to dissociative phase changes : solid to liquid / liquid to gas.

If a liquid is frozen what is the speed of it melting?
The rate of a phase change, such as from solid to liquid, is dependent upon the specific heat of the material, the difference between the solid's core temperature and the room's ambient temperature and the application of any external energy sources such as a light bulb or heating mantle.
Rank the LIGHT wave speed through the three states of matter?
light speed is 299 792 458 m/ s and type of matter are solid liquid gas plasme
