The velocity of electromagnetic radiatior in a medium of permittivity `epsilon_(0)` and permeability `mu_(0)` is given by

A

`sqrt((epsi_(0))/(mu_(0)))`

B

`sqrt(mu_(0)epsi_(0))`

C

`(1)/(sqrt(mu_(0)epsi_(0)))`

D

`sqrt((mu_(0))/(epsi_(0)))`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

Velocity of electromagnetic radiation is the velocity of light (c), ie
`c=(1)/(sqrt(mu_(0)epsi_(0)))`
where `mu_(0)` is the permeability and `epsi_(0)` is the permittivity of free space.
