Q. The following table gives the refractive indices of a few media:

	1	2	3	4	5
Medium :	Water	Crown glass	Rock salt	Ruby	Diamond
Refractive index :	1.33	1.52	1.54	1.71	2.42

Use this table to give an example of:

(i) a medium pair so that light speeds up when it goes from one of these medium to another.
(ii) a medium pair so that light slows down when it goes from one of these medium to another.
