∙ 10y agoThe speed of light decreases when it travels from air into glass because the glass has a higher refractive index than air. This causes the light to slow down as it moves through the denser medium.
. . . decreases.
The color of light that travels through glass with the minimum speed is violet. This is because the speed of light in any medium, including glass, is dependent on the medium's refractive index, with shorter wavelengths like violet experiencing a slower speed.
Of course not,it is not true. The speed of light decreases
The ratio between the speed of light in vacuum, c, and the speed at which light travels in a material, v, is called the refractive index of the material.The refractive index of air for visible light is 1.000293, so the speed of light in air is c / 1.000293 ≈ 299,705,000 m/s. The refractive index of glass, depending on the type of glass, for visible light is around 1.5, so the light in glass travels at c / 1.5 ≈ 200,000,000 m/s.
The speed of light is slower in water and glass compared to its speed in a vacuum, but faster in diamond. This difference is due to the different optical properties of these materials, which affect how light propagates through them. In water and glass, light travels at about 3/4 of its speed in a vacuum, while in diamond, light travels even faster than in a vacuum.
The speed of light decreases when it travels from air to glass and further decreases when it travels from glass to water. This is due to the different refractive indexes of each medium, which affects the speed at which light can propagate.
The speed of light is minimum in Glass. It is because light travels at minimum speed in solids.

Light travels at a slower speed in glass compared to vacuum. The ratio of the speed of light in vacuum to the speed of light in glass is called the refractive index of glass. So, the distance light travels in glass would be the distance it travels in vacuum divided by the refractive index of glass.
When a light ray travels from air into glass, it slows down due to the change in medium density. This change in speed causes the light ray to bend or refract, according to Snell's Law. The amount of bending depends on the angle at which the light ray enters the glass and the refractive indices of the two materials.
The color of light that travels through glass with the minimum speed is violet. This is because the speed of light in any medium, including glass, is dependent on the medium's refractive index, with shorter wavelengths like violet experiencing a slower speed.
When light travels from air to glass, it slows down due to the higher refractive index of glass compared to air. This change in speed causes the light to bend towards the normal (an imaginary line perpendicular to the surface) at the point of entry. This bending of light is known as refraction.

The speed of light varies because the absolute speed of light "C" is measured in a vacuum. When light travels through air, it goes slightly slower. When light travels through denser mediums still, such as glass, the speed decreases further still.
