It is not. The speed of light in any material is inversely proportional to the refractive index of that material. The refractive index of glass depends on the glass and so the speed of light varies between 156 and 204 million metres per second. By contrast, the speed of light in vacuum is nearly 300 million metres per second.
Even in pure water ice, light travels at nearly 229 million metres per second. So there is no evidence whatsoever to support the question's claim of "fastest through glass".

∙ 14y agolight travels fastest through aire because it is less dence then water or glass, when light travels throught water it slows down

∙ 11y agoThe speed of light is higher in vacuum than it is in any material medium.
In other words, no material has a refractive index less than ' 1 '.

∙ 6y agoThe question cannot be answered because the assertion is false: the speed of light is NOT fastest through glass. It is almost 50% faster in vacuum. Even in water it is faster!

Does sound travel the fastest through glass?
No, but sound can travel at 4,540 m/sNo, sound travels fastest through solids.
Does light travel fastest in space in air in water or through glass?
Light's apparent speed is fastest definitely in a vacuum and slower in water or glass. Light in air behaves more like in a vacuum than in water or glass.
Will sound travel faster through water or a glass window?
window, because sound travels fastest through solids, liquids second, and gases last.
What happens to the speed of the light as it travels from the air through the glass and then through the water?
The light refracts due to the change in speed. The change in speed occurs because the light is travelling through a denser medium. So it will travel fastest through the air and slowest through the glass
Can both light and sound travel through glass?
Both light and sound can indeed travel through glass. These are substances in which light and sound often travel through.

Sound travels through glass steel copper iron or water best?
sound passes fastest through glass
A material that light can travel through is?
Glass
What is a material through which light waves can travel?
Light can travel through transparent and translucent glass.
Does light have a medium to travel through?
No, apart from "spacetime". But it CAN travel through a medium such as air or glass.
What is a solid that lets light travel through?
Glass
Does magnetic force travel through glass?
It depends on how thick the glass is and how strong the magnets are.
