Detailed Solution

If the nature of the transparent medium changes, the speed of light changes.
When a transparent medium's properties change, the speed of light varies. When the light that is already moving at high speed enters a new transparent medium like air, water, or glass, its speed is slowed down in a manner that is proportional to the refractive index of the new substance. Like any wave, the characteristics of the medium affect the speed of a light wave. When an electromagnetic wave is present, its speed is determined by the material's optical density.
