The speed of light depends on the electrical properties of whatever substance
it's in. It has nothing to do with what substance it used to be in before, or what
substance it's going into next. -- If it goes from air into vacuum, its speed increases.
-- If it goes from air into water, its speed decreases.
-- If it goes from water into air, its speed increases.
-- If it goes from water into diamond or jello, its speed decreases.

The speed of light will be minimum while passing through?
The speed of light is a constant in a vacuum and does not change, regardless of the medium it passes through.
Would refraction still occur if light did not change speed when passing from medium to another?
No, refraction occurs because light changes speed when passing from one medium to another. The change in speed causes the light wave to bend, resulting in refraction. If light did not change speed, refraction would not occur.
How fast does light travel in ethyl alcohol?
It travels at approx 220,000,000 metres per second.
Can you see light when it's at high speed?
No, light itself always travels at the same speed, which is about 186,282 miles per second in a vacuum. However, we can observe the effects of light passing through different mediums or interacting with surfaces, such as reflection or refraction.
How does the temperature of a material affect the speed of sound passing through it?
Temperature is a fact for speed. Speed is increasing with the temperature.
How does the speed of light of different colors passing through the same medium vary?
The speed of light of different colors passing through the same medium remains the same. This is because the speed of light in a medium is constant and does not change based on the color of the light.
Does light travel at its slowest speed when passing through a vacuum?
No, light is at its fastest in a vacuum.
What happens to the energy that light gains from a Gravity Assist when passing by a mass in space since light cannot increase in speed?
Light cannot increase its speed, but it can increase its energy. Doing so will increase its frequency, or equivalently shorten its wavelength. It will thus be blue shifted.
How does light passing through glass affect its speed and direction?
When light passes through glass, its speed decreases and it bends, or refracts, due to the change in the medium.
Why do laser light bend when passing through water?
Laser light bends when passing through water due to a change in the speed of light as it enters a medium with a different refractive index. This change in speed causes the light to change direction, a phenomenon known as refraction.
Does light slow down when passing through different mediums?
Yes, light does slow down when passing through different mediums. This is due to the interaction of light with the atoms and molecules in the medium, which causes the light to change speed.
Does the speed of light is same in all inertial reference frames?
Yes, as long as the light is passing through vacuum.
What happens to light as it passes through different mediums?
Light can be absorbed, reflected, refracted, or transmitted when passing through different mediums. The speed of light may change depending on the medium it is passing through, which can result in bending or changing direction. The refractive index of a material determines how much the light will be bent as it passes through.
The speed of light will be minimum while passing through?
The speed of light is a constant in a vacuum and does not change, regardless of the medium it passes through.
Does light always travel at the same speed in all mediums?
No, light does not always travel at the same speed in all mediums. Its speed can vary depending on the medium it is passing through.
Is the speed of light constant in all mediums?
Yes, the speed of light is constant in a vacuum, but it can change when passing through different mediums, such as air, water, or glass.
Is electricity as fast as light?
No, electricity does not travel at the speed of light. The speed at which electricity travels depends on the medium it is passing through. In most cases, electricity travels at a fraction of the speed of light.
