The velocity of electromagnetic waves in...

The velocity of electromagnetic waves in free space can be given by relation........

A

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

B

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

C

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

D

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

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
The velocity of electromagnetic waves in free space (vacuum) is given by `c = (1)/(sqrt(mu_(0)epsi_(0))) = 3 xx 10^(8)ms^(-1)`
