You can find this out by looking up the index of refraction for the specified materials: n-air =1.000293 n-water = 1.33 n-vacuum = 1 The higher the index, the slower light moves through the medium

OpenStudy (shamim):

So light velocity in vaccum is the fastest

OpenStudy (shamim):

Light velocity in air is slower than that of vaccum

OpenStudy (shamim):

Now wt do u think the velocity of light in water. Is it fastest or slowest or medium???!!!
