mind my asking: v/c index when light travels trough vacuum/glass/vacuum?

assume light travels from in.vacuum to in.glass and back again
in.vacuum: its speed will deccelerate from c to v and agian accelerate
from v to c. how do you explian the acceleration? i mean does light
behave like p-mobile with renewable energy or so?

Bullshit. You know nothing of the mechanism of refractive index.
What about complex and negative refractive indices, idiot dedanoe?
Are ya gonna tell us circular dichroism spectroscopy does not exist?
That the Kramers-Kronig relationship does not exist?

Your profound ignorance must be a source of great pleasure to you,
like inept self-abuse except shared.

There is no spoon.

Wrong.

Light travels at c in a vacuum. That includes the vacuum between
atoms in matter.

Light traveling "through" an atom is absorbed, and then normally re-
emitted at exactly the same polarization, speed (c) and frequency,
with a slight time delay due to interactions with the electromagnetic
fields within the atom.

For details see any comprehensive text on Special Relativity. Also
research "polarizability" and the dielectric constant, as colligative
properties of matter.
