When light propagates through a material medium of relative permittivity r and relative permeability r, the velocity of light, v is given by (c-velocity of light in vacuum)
- Av = c
- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: D
$$v = {1 \over {\sqrt {{\varepsilon _m}{\mu _m}} }}$$
$$v = {1 \over {\sqrt {{\varepsilon _0}{\varepsilon _r}{\mu _0}{\mu _r}} }}$$
Since $$c = {1 \over {\sqrt {{\varepsilon _0}{\mu _0}} }}$$
$$ \Rightarrow v = {c \over {\sqrt {{\varepsilon _r}{\mu _r}} }}$$
