Best Answer

light is a photon wave, the color of the light depends on the length of the wave; as traveling is concerned, the density of water is greater and thus causes a beam divergence greater than in gas.

Would light travel the fastest through water glass or air?

It is not. The speed of light in any material is inversely proportional to the refractive index of that material. The refractive index of glass depends on the glass and so the speed of light varies between 156 and 204 million metres per second. By contrast, the speed of light in vacuum is nearly 300 million metres per second.Even in pure water ice, light travels at nearly 229 million metres per second. So there is no evidence whatsoever to support the question's claim of "fastest through glass".
