In purifying drinking water alum is used for coagulation of mud particles.

Because the refractive index of glass is highest, light travels slowly in Glass. 

We know that the speed of light depends on the refraction index. The higher the index of refraction is, the slower the speed of light is.

R.I of air and vacuum = 0 (air is a teeny bit more but can be taken as 0)
R.I of water = 1.33
R.I of glass = 1.4.

Hence, Light travels slowest in Glass.

LIKE, BETWEEN and = operators are used for comparison in SQL. Comparison operators test whether two expressions are the same. Comparison operators can be used on all expressions except expressions of the text, ntext, or image data types.
