Light travels slower through denser media, so it travels faster through water than through a diamond.
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.
Light waves travel fastest through a vacuum, as there are no particles to interact with and slow down the speed of light. In descending order, light travels fastest in a vacuum, then air, water, and finally, diamond, which has a higher refractive index that slows down the speed of light.
It gets faster. As a result, it also changes its direction.
Light travels faster through a vacuum than through any other medium, such as air, water, or glass. In a vacuum, light can travel at its maximum speed of approximately 299,792 kilometers per second.
Light travels faster in air than in water because the density of air is lower than that of water. Light changes speed and direction when it enters a different medium due to the change in density, causing it to move slower in water.
yes they travel faster :)
Water is denser than air . Hence light travels faster in air than water.
Slower in water.
Light travels much faster than sound, through wood.
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.
Since air has a lower optical density than water, light waves can travel faster in air.
they travel faster. Light waves travel more QUICKLY as they enter water. ^^ whoever done this;; thanks! i really needed the answer....
Speed of light in vacuum = ' c '-- Speed of light in Air . . 99.97% of ' c '.-- in Water . . . . . . . . 75% of ' c '.-- in Crown Glass . . . 64.9%-- in Flint Glass . . . . . 61.7%-- in Diamond . . . . . . 41.3%

Air.
yes
metal since it is solid
