Correct Answer: Option C
Detailed Explanation:
The speed of light in a medium is inversely proportional to its refractive index.
- Refractive Index Values: Vacuum = 1.0, Air ≈ 1.0003, Water ≈ 1.33, Glass ≈ 1.5–1.65.
- Glass has the highest refractive index among the given options, resulting in the slowest speed of light.
- Therefore, light travels slowest through glass, making Option 3 the correct answer.
