Speed of Light in Different Media

Easy Physics Optics

A beam of light travels from air into a glass medium. The refractive index of air is approximately 1.00, and the refractive index of the glass is about 1.50. When the light passes into the glass, it slows down and bends towards the normal line at the boundary between the two media.

Given this scenario, what will happen to the speed of light as it enters the glass medium compared to its speed in air?
