I WONDER - Can Light Waves Travel At Different Speeds?

The video tutorial explores how light travels at different speeds in various materials. In a vacuum, light reaches its maximum speed of approximately 299,792 kilometers per second. However, when light enters materials like air, water, or glass, it slows down. The refractive index is a measure of how much a material can bend light, with higher indices indicating more bending. Diamonds, with one of the highest refractive indices, bend light in multiple directions, causing them to sparkle brilliantly.
