Well, to be honest, electromagnetic wave itself is never slowed down by anything and travels uniformly at the speed of light, c. However, when you look at macroscopic level, it is possible to slow down a combination of many many electromagnetic waves if they travel though a dense medium. The denser the medium, the more 'radiation' is slowed down. So slowing down process occurs when 'radiation' travels from less dense to more dense medium (the closed atoms are packed together, the more they absorb and reemit electromagnetic waves).
