Answer

From the question we can see that the in medium 1 speed of light is 200,000 Km/s where as in Medium 2 speed of light is 250,000 km/s.

We can conclude that medium 1 is denser than Medium 2.

In third medium Light speed halts so, the third medium is opaque.

We can say that

Medium 1 can be either water, glass.

Medium 2 will be gas

Medium 3 will be an opaque material.
