No, slower. Light travels fastest in a vacuum. Anything transparent that light can pass through slows it down somewhat. Diamond crystal slows it down notably, which is part of what causes the "fire" in a diamond.

Light travels the fastest, with a speed of 299,792 kilometers per second in a vacuum. Sound travels at around 343 meters per second in air. Microwaves travel slower in glass compared to a vacuum, but their speed is still faster than sound. A rocket in space can travel at speeds up to several kilometers per second, depending on its propulsion system.
Electromagnetic waves are, by definition, light. So they travel at the exact same speed as light.Also, a "Do" would be appropriate here, instead of an "IS".
No, asteroids do not travel faster than light. Light travels at a speed of about 186,282 miles per second (299,792 kilometers per second) in a vacuum, which is the maximum speed at which anything can travel in our universe. Asteroids typically travel much slower than the speed of light.
No known particles can travel faster than the speed of light in a vacuum, according to the theory of special relativity. In a medium like water, particles such as neutrinos can travel faster than the speed of light in that medium, but not in a vacuum. In solids, sound waves can propagate faster than light as well.
No, slower.
Light travels faster through a vacuum than through any other medium, such as air, water, or glass. In a vacuum, light can travel at its maximum speed of approximately 299,792 kilometers per second.
No
No
Yes.
It travels fastest in a vacuum.
Light travels fastest in a vacuum because there are no particles to slow it down. It slows down in air, even more in water, and even more in glass due to interactions with particles in those mediums.
Light is an electromagnetic radiation that travel through air, vacuum, glass, plastics, ,,,
Nothing can travel faster than light in a vacuum.
The index of refraction for glass is calculated by taking the speed of light in a vacuum and dividing it by the speed of light in glass. Since light travels 1.5 times faster in a vacuum, the index of refraction for glass would be 1 divided by 1.5, which equals 0.67.
According to the theory of relativity, nothing can travel faster than the speed of light in a vacuum.
No.
