However, when light passes through materials such as water, glass, or air, its speed decreases depending on the material&#8217;s refractive index. For example, light slows down significantly in diamond, which has a high refractive index, compared to air. This change in speed is also what causes light to bend (refraction) when entering a new medium.<\/p>\n<h3>From the album &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/idea.membrane.com\/songwriter\/tag\/dispersion\/\">Dispersion<\/a>&#8221; by <a href=\"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/Daniel\/\">Daniel<\/a><\/h3>\n<h2><a href=\"http:\/\/membrane.com\/global_warming\/\">The Human Induced Climate Change Experiment<\/a><\/h2>\n<h2><a href=\"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/MegaEpix-Enormous\/multimedia\/VII\/\">MegaEpix Enormous<\/a><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What-is-the-Speed-of-Light-0.mp3 What-is-the-Speed-of-Light-0.mp4 What-is-the-Speed-of-Light-I.mp3 What-is-the-Speed-of-Light-I.mp4 What-is-the-Speed-of-Light-intro.mp3 [Intro] What is the speed of light (Is your speed of light right?)
