The following are some things that do not happen:
Light travels faster in a vacuum than in any other medium, such as air or water. Its speed in a vacuum is approximately 186,282 miles per second (299,792 kilometers per second).
I think the word you're looking for is "refraction."
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).
. . . decreases.
Yes, light travels in straight lines through air and only bends when it passes from one medium to another with a different optical density, like from air to water. Once it enters the water, the light wave changes speed and direction, causing it to refract and create the visual effect you observed when looking at the bowl of water.
Light travels faster.
Light travels the fastest among sound, air, light, and water. In dry air, sound travels around 343 meters per second, while light travels at approximately 299,792 kilometers per second, which is much faster. Water and air have slower speeds of sound compared to light.
When light travels from water to air, it bends away from the normal. This phenomenon is known as refraction and occurs due to the difference in the speed of light in water and air.
Water is denser than air . Hence light travels faster in air than water.

"air", "water" "glass" - generically a medium.
Light travels slower in water than in air because when light enters the water medium, according to the collision theory, the particles of the water gets some of the light energy and displaces light from its real path. As the energy is absorbed, it is a fact that on decreasing the energy of anything, it will get much slower in performing that work. So light travels slower in water than in air.
Yes, light travels slower in water than in air.
The speed of light is dependent on the medium it travels through. Light travels fastest in a vacuum than in water or air.
Light bends away from the normal when it travels from water into air. This is due to the difference in refractive indices between the two mediums, causing the light to change speed and direction.
When light travels from water to air, it bends away from the normal (a line perpendicular to the water-air interface). This bending of light is known as refraction, and it occurs because light travels at different speeds in different mediums, causing the change in direction.
The bending of a pencil in water is due to the refraction of light. When light travels from air to water, it changes speed and direction, causing the pencil to appear bent at the water-air interface. This phenomenon is an example of how light can be influenced by the medium through which it travels.
