The statement that accurately describes the way light waves propagate is:
Light waves travel faster in solids than in air.
In general, light travels fastest in a vacuum, followed by air, and then by liquids and solids, though the speed can vary based on the material's density and refractive index. Solid materials can allow light to travel faster than in air, depending on the specific properties of the solid.
