Does light travel faster in oil or water explain refer to the index of refraction of both?

Light travels faster in water than in oil. The index of refraction for water is approximately 1.33, while for oil, it is around 1.45. A lower index of refraction indicates that light will travel faster through that medium, so since water has a lower index than oil, light travels faster in water.


Can light waves travel better in water or air?

Do Light waves travel more slowly through air and water?

Light waves travel faster through air than through water because air has a lower refractive index than water. This means that light waves experience less bending (refraction) in air compared to water, allowing them to move faster.
