In some fairly recent experiments physicists have claimed to able to stop light entirely in super-cooled sodium.
Light travels slower in oil than in a vacuum because oil has a higher refractive index than a vacuum, which causes light to slow down as it moves through the medium. The denser the medium, the slower light will travel.
Waves travel slowest in mediums that offer more resistance to their propagation, such as solid materials like rock or metal. The speed of waves is determined by the medium's density and elasticity - the denser and less elastic the medium, the slower the waves will travel.
Light travels slowest in a medium with a high refractive index, such as glass or water. This is because light is absorbed and re-emitted by atoms in the medium, causing it to slow down compared to its speed in a vacuum.
Light travels fastest through air, then glass, and slowest through water. The speed at which light travels through a medium depends on the refractive index of the material, with lower refractive indexes resulting in faster speeds.
Light can travel in a vacuum without the need for a medium. This is because light is composed of photons which do not require a medium, unlike other types of waves such as sound waves that do need a medium to propagate.

metal,wood and then brick. yes all the basics

No, light is at its fastest in a vacuum.

Light will not travel into silver.
Light can travel through vacuum, but it is not a medium.
Mechanical waves travel slowest in gases, such as air. This is because gases have low density and low rigidity, leading to slower propagation of waves compared to liquids and solids.
No, light in a medium will travel at a slower speed.
All colors of light travel at the same speed in a vacuum, including through a telescope lens. The speed of light is determined by the medium it travels through; in air or a lens, all colors of light travel at the same speed.
