No,the travelling of x-ray is at a faster speed more than the glass’ in visible light.
Explanation:
In any material medium, the speed of the light is inversely proportional to the medium’s refractive index.
Since, the glass’ index for x-ray is less than the visible light, there will be the travelling of x-ray at a faster speed more than the glass’ visible light.
The refractive index’s formula is below:
where, c is the light’s speed in vacuum, n is the refraction index and v is the light’s speed in the medium.
