Light travels slowest in optically dense materials like glass or water due to the increased interaction and greater number of collisions with particles in the material, causing a delay in its propagation speed.
In matter, electromagnetic waves travel slowest in solids, faster in liquids, and fastest in gases. This speed variation is due to the differences in density and the interactions between the particles in each state of matter.
Light moves slowest through solids, as the particles are closely packed together and can absorb and re-emit the photons. This interaction causes light to slow down compared to its speed in a vacuum.
The speed of sound is slowest in gases, as the molecules in gases are further apart and less tightly bound compared to liquids and solids.
Violet travels 1% slower than red does in natural grass.
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.
No, light is at its fastest in a vacuum.

Planets travel slowest at their aphelion – the point in their orbit farthest from the sun. This is when they are moving at their slowest speed due to the effect of gravity.
The speed of sound is slowest in gases, as the molecules in gases are further apart and less tightly bound compared to liquids and solids.
The slowest travel day of the week for most people is typically Sunday.
Violet travels 1% slower than red does in natural grass.
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.
light waves travel through a matter, such as air water and others
solid
Light travels in the air phase of matter compared to the liquids and solids.
The slowest thing in the world is indeed Doug Cowan. Doug is an engineer who moves at a snails pace when it comes to work, or anything else for that matter.
