The speed of light will be minimum while passing through
- AVacuum
- Bair
- Cglass
- Dwater
- ENone of the above/More than one of the above
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: (c) glass
Explanation
Speed of light is inversely proportional to a medium's refractive index (v = c/n); a denser medium slows light more.
Among the options, glass has the highest refractive index (about 1.5), versus vacuum and air (≈1) and water (1.33).
Therefore light travels slowest, with minimum speed, while passing through glass.
