Which statement best explains the difference between light waves traveling through a vacuum and light waves traveling through a medium?

The statement which best explains the difference between the light waves travelling through a vaccuum and light waves travelling through a medium  is -"When light waves travel through a vacuum, they travel faster than when they travel through a medium."

Explanation:

Light waves are faster in vacuum because The refractive index of vacuum is the lowest since there is no barrier in the way of light propagation in vacuum. Demonstrate that the maximum speed of light in vacuum.

In a vacuum, light flies at 186,283 mph. Light flies at 186,200 mph in the air, or 56 mph slower. In another medium, such as water, light travels at 139,712 mph, or around 3/4 of the speed of light in a vacuum.

LIGHT WAVES -: Light waves are a form of electromagnetic wave that includes both visible and invisible to the naked eye wavelengths on the electromagnetic spectrum. The average human eye can see light with wavelengths ranging from 390 to 700 nanometers, or nm.

Forms of light waves comprises of Radio waves , microwaves , infrared waves , visible light etc.
