Water is optically denser than air because speed of light in water (2.25 x 108 m s-1) is less than speed of light in air (3 x 108 m s-1).

What do you understand by refraction of light?
How does the speed of light determine the optical density of a medium?
State the speed of light in:
(a) air
(b) water and
(c) glass.
Out of air and glass, which is optically rarer? Give reason.
