Light travels through solids, but the extent to which it can pass through depends on the material. Transparent solids like glass allow light to pass through with minimal interaction, while opaque solids like wood absorb or reflect light, preventing it from passing through.
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.
Simply put, because it bumps into things as it travels though a solid.
Light travels slower through a solid because it interacts with the atoms and molecules within the solid, causing it to be absorbed and re-emitted multiple times as it moves through the material. This interaction leads to a decrease in the speed of light compared to its speed in a vacuum.
Light travels from a flashlight to a solid through the process of reflection and absorption. When the light beam hits the solid surface, some of it is absorbed, and some is reflected. The absorbed light energy can cause the atoms in the solid to vibrate, generating heat.
No, light does not make noise when it travels through a vacuum.

Both light and sound travel. Light travels the fastest.
No. Light can't travel through solid brick, steel etc, but sound can.
Yes. The more dense the material the slower light travels. Light travels the slowest in diamond at about a third of its normal speed of 300 000 km /s in a vacuum.

Molecules making up the air are far apart compared to the molecules making up any solid medium. As solids provides very less inter and inter molecular space, light often travels slowly through solid medium. Refractive index of air is 1.
Light travels as light energy. Light is a type of electromagnetic wave.
light travels from sun to earth through vaccum, so its easily understood
