The electromagnetic waves travel with a velocity

A

Equal to velocity of sound

B

Equal to velocity of light

C

Less than velocity of light

D

None of these.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`"Velocity of EM waves" = (1)/(sqrt(mu_(0)epsilon_(0)))=3 xx 10^(8) m // s`
= velocity of light
