Statement I: The ratio of the amplitudes of electric and magnetic fields at a point in the electromagnetic wave is same as the velocity of wave.
Statement II: If in a medium, `mu` and `in` are the magnetic permeability and the electric permittivity respectively, then `1//sqrt(muin)` is the velocity of electromagnetic wave in that medium.
