Nothing happens to it. The speed of light is constant as long as it stays in the oil,

and although it changes as it crosses the boundary from one to the other, it stays

constant again once it's in the glass.

What might cause the speed of light to vary?

The speed of light varies depending on what kind of material it's traveling through. It's fastest when in vacuum, and it's different, and slower, in air, water, alcohol, oil, glass, jello, etc.


What is the speed of light in oil?

Einstein says that the speed of light is the same to all observers. This raises some interesting problems and his theories of relativity set out to solve them. But that aside, the speed of light is the same in olive oil and a diamond as it is anywhere else.

Why does glass disappear in oil?

When immersed in oil, glass becomes nearly invisible due to a phenomenon called "refractive index matching." This occurs because the refractive index of glass closely matches that of oil, leading to minimal light reflection or refraction at the glass-oil interface. As a result, the glass appears to disappear when submerged in oil, making it difficult to see with the naked eye.


How fast does light travel through oil?

Light travels through oil at a speed that is slower than its speed in a vacuum, but faster than its speed in water. The exact speed depends on the specific type of oil, but it is generally around 2/3 of the speed of light in a vacuum.


Does oil has the same refractive index as glass?

No, oil does not have the same refractive index as glass. Glass typically has a higher refractive index than most oils. This difference in refractive index is what causes light to bend or change direction when it passes from one medium (like oil) to another (like glass).
