The speed of light is always the same, the different speeds associated with a liquid are due to the absorbing and emitting of the light within the substance as it travels through it, which is not necessarily 'c' (2.99792458x10^10 cm/sec).

How fast does light travel in liquid?

The speed of light in a liquid depends on the properties of the liquid, such as its density and refractive index. In general, light travels slower in liquids compared to its speed in vacuum, which is approximately 299,792 kilometers per second. The exact speed of light in a specific liquid can be calculated using the formula v = c/n, where v is the speed of light in the liquid, c is the speed of light in vacuum, and n is the refractive index of the liquid.


How do sound waves travel compared to light waves?

Sound waves require a medium to travel through, such as air, water, or solids, and they propagate by causing particles in the medium to vibrate. Light waves, on the other hand, can travel through a vacuum and do not require a medium. They propagate as electromagnetic waves and can travel through empty space.
