light will speed up slightly and be bent away from the normal.
Virtually all metals and most other elements. Rocks etc. Countless materials are denser than perspex (1.8g/cm3)
static electricity; there are more electron on the rod, so when the two objects come together, the electrons would naturally go to the cloth. Think of it as when you're in a ROM and the door's finally open to an empty space, people would naturally want to spread out there.
Generally, denser mediums have higher refractive index. For example, water has a higher refractive index compared to air. Similarly, glass has a higher refractive index than water.
The one in which the speed of light is less has.
Usually a convex lens made up a material with higher refractive index would act as a converging device when kept in a medium having lower refractive index such as air. But when it is kept in a liquid as said with higher refractive index then convex lens would become as a concave lens. Now it would diverge the rays entering through it right from the liquid with higher refractive index.

Refractive index is a measure of how much light is bent, or refracted, when entering a material. It depends on factors such as the material's density, composition, and atomic structure, as well as the wavelength of the light passing through the material. A higher refractive index indicates a greater bending of light.
Materials with a higher refractive index than their surroundings are likely to exhibit total internal reflection. Examples include diamond, glass, and water when surrounded by air. Total internal reflection occurs when light passing from a material of higher refractive index to a material of lower refractive index is reflected back into the higher refractive index material.
The refractive index of salt water depends on the concentration of salt. For typical ocean water with a salinity of around 3.5%, the refractive index is approximately 1.34. If the salinity is higher, the refractive index will also increase.
The refractive index is inversely proportional to the wavelength, so the shorter the wavelength (the higher the frequency, or the more "blue" the light) the higher the refractive index. Conversely, the longer the wavelength (the lower the frequency, or the more "red" the light), the lower the refractive index. Therefore as wavelength of blue in less the refractive index will be maximum. For more information, follow the related link below.
This means that at a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius, the refractive index of water is 1.333. The refractive index is a measure of how much light bends when passing through a medium, and a higher refractive index indicates a higher bending effect.
The speed of light in a material with a higher refractive index is slower compared to its speed in a vacuum. This is due to the interaction of light with the atoms and molecules in the material, causing it to bend or slow down as it propagates through the medium.
Light will be refracted more when it goes from air to glass, as the refractive index of glass is higher than that of water. Snell's Law states that the angle of refraction is dependent on the refractive indices of the two mediums, with a higher refractive index resulting in a greater change in direction.
