उत्तर

carbon disulphide

Explanation:  
Refractive index = `"speed of light in air"/"speed of light in medium "` 

Speed of light in the medium is slowest; therefore refractive index will be maximum as the speed of light in air is constant. Thus, light will travel slowest in the substance with refractive index 1.63.
