how does density affect the speed of light. But when we are talking about mediums the term inertial frame is not applicable. How does density affect the refraction of light.
A higher density leads to more elasticity in the medium and hence the ease by which compression and rarefaction can take place. Refraction of light will apparently increase as the density of a substance increases and I dont know why. It isnt really density which matters.
In most cases when the temperature of a medium increases so does the speed of sound through that medium.
This way the velocity of sound increases by increase in density. The optical density of a medium is not the same as its physical density. And a varying light speed would change the. In the case of an electromagnetic wave the speed of the wave depends upon the optical density of that material.
