The speed of light through vacuum is constant.
The speed of light through air is slightly less.
The speed of light through water or some other medium is even less than that.
The factor by which the speed of light (and its wavelength) is reduced within a medium is called the "index of refraction" (which determines the amount of bending that occurs when light goes from one medium to another).
Any higher viscosity liquid or solid.
The speed of light is much greater than the speed of sound.
The speed of light in water is less than the speed of light in space. Only light can travel at the speed of light.
the speed of light never changes but when the light beam goes from air to water, it refracts. this is when the light beam alters direction because it hits an object of greater or less density (in this case it is higher).
No. Light slows down whenever it passes through water. Nothing is faster than the speed of light in a vaccum.
They don't. Nothing can exceed the speed of light. Electrons in a television travel much slower than the speed of light.
The speed is the same. Light travels at a finite speed.
The speed of light is much greater than the speed of sound.
Why is the speed of the electron beam greater than the speed of light in cathode ray oscilloscope.
Not the speed of sound.
The speed of light in water is less than the speed of light in space. Only light can travel at the speed of light.
Yes.

The speed of light in any medium is given by its speed of light in vacuum divided by the refractive index of the medium and so light will travel faster in water than in glass since refractive index of glass is greater than that of water.

The speed of light is the speed at which electromagnetic waves propagate through a medium. The speed of sound is the speed at which acoustic waves propagate through a medium. As the speed of sound relies on the medium moreso than the speed of light, sound propagates much slower than light.
Both.Water is transparent to visible light but the speed of light in water is different to the speed of light in air. As a result, light rays travelling from air to water are usually refracted. However, as is the case at any interface between transparent media, light rays which hit the surface of the water at an angle greater than the critical angle are reflected.
