Try again...would you believe light as 38 miles per hour?

38 miles per hour is the speed of light in that medium

Quiz: How fast do the electrons flow in a copper conductor?
Hint: It's not the speed of light.

Of course not, compared to photons, electrons are massive,
capable of absorbing photons with ease.
