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.

Does light travel faster through liquid or solid?

Light travels faster through liquid than through solid. The speed of light in a medium is determined by the refractive index of the material, which is lower in liquid compared to solid materials.


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 increased speed it is possible that the body will change from what to what?

As the molecules in a body move with increased speed, i.e. increasing kinetic energy, it is possible that the body will change from the solid phase to the liquid phase, or the liquid phase to the gas phase, and in some cases from the solid directly to the gas phase.


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.


What happens to the speed and wavelength of light wave passing from liquid to solid?

When light passes from a liquid to a solid medium, its speed typically decreases, as solids usually have a higher refractive index than liquids. The wavelength of the light wave will also decrease as it enters the denser medium, causing the light to bend towards the normal.


When the molecules in a body move with increased speed it's possible that the body will change from a a gas to a liquid b liquid to a solid c liquid to a gas d gas to a solid?

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.


When the molecules in a body move with increased speed it's possible that the body will change from a A. liquid to a gas. B. gas to a liquid. C. gas to a solid. D. liquid to a solid.?

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.


When the molecules in a body move with a increased speed it's possible that the body will change from a?

When molecules in a body move with increased speed, they gain kinetic energy. If this increase in kinetic energy is significant enough, it can lead to a change in phase, such as from a solid to a liquid, or from a liquid to a gas. These phase changes are a result of the increased movement of molecules overcoming the intermolecular forces holding them together in a particular phase.


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.


The speed of light is faster in a liquid true or false?

True, the speed of light is faster in a transparent medium like water or glass compared to its speed in a vacuum. This difference in speed is due to the different refractive indexes of the medium, which affects the speed at which light travels through it.


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?
