Answer:
1.How does the speed of light determine the optical density of a medium? ... A medium is denser than air, if its speed of light in the medium is less than the speed of light in air. Similarly, a medium is less dense than air, its speed of light in the medium is more than the speed of light in air.
2.When water travels through water, its speed gets reduced. Hence, it is a optically denser medium. Speed of light in air is more than speed of light in water, which means water is optically denser than air.
