Question

light waves travel at different speeds through different media. which list shows the correct order of increasing speed of light waves, from slowest to fastest? gases→liquids→solids solids→liquids→gases liquids→solids→gases gases→solids→liquids

Explanation:

The speed of light waves depends on the medium. In solids, the particles are closely packed, which slows down light more compared to liquids. In gases, the particles are more spread out, allowing light to travel faster. So the order from slowest to fastest is solids (most particle - dense, more obstruction) → liquids → gases (least particle - dense, least obstruction).

Answer:

solids → liquids → gases
