Which is the correct expression of velocity of light?

A

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

B

`(E_(0))/(B_(0))`

C

`(c)/(mu)`

D

All of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
The velocity of electromagnetic waves in free space is given by
`c = (1)/(sqrt(mu_(0)epsi_(0))) = (E_(0))/(B_(0)) = 3 xx 10^(8) ms^(-1)`
Moreover, velocity of light in a medium with refractive index `mu` is, `v = (c)/(mu)`.
