The velocity of electromagnetic radiatio...

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

A

`sqrt((epsilon_(0))/(mu_(0)))`

B

`sqrt(mu_(0)epsilon_(0))`

C

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

D

`sqrt((mu_(0))/(epsilon_(0)))`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
c

Velocity of electromagnetic radiation is the velocity of light `(c)`, i.e.,
`c=(1)/(sqrt(mu_(0)epsilon_(0)))`
Where `mu_(0)` is the permeability and `epsilon_(0)` is the permmittivity of free space.
