Question
which of the following accurately ranks the mediums a light wave can travel through from fastest to slowest? gas, solid, liquid solid, liquid, gas liquid, gas, solid gas, liquid, solid
Brief Explanations
Light travels fastest in gases as the particles are far apart, allowing light waves to pass through more easily. Liquids have particles closer together than gases but more spread out than solids, so light travels slower in liquids than in gases. Solids have the most closely - packed particles, which slow down light waves the most.
