Question

Does light travels faster in a material with a higher index of refraction

Answer 1

No, just the opposite.

Think of refractive index as an enemy of light. The bad guy, the villain, the outlaw. It pushes against light and makes light slow down. BAAAD REFRACTIVE INDEX !

The bigger the refractive index is, the more it's able to slow light down.

Answer 2

Answer:The lower the refractive index, the faster the velocity of light. Medium A has the smaller refractive index. Light will travel faster through medium A at a velocity equal to the speed of light divided by the refractive index.
