Answer:

a person who sees laser light passing through a bucket full of water.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to relativity, the speed of light is the same irrespective of the relative speed between the source, and the observer. The only exception is when light travel from a less dense medium to a denser medium as in air into the bucket full of water. So the speed of light is slowest relative to the observer in the laser that passes through the bucket of water.
