The speed of an electromagnetic wave in ...

The speed of an electromagnetic wave in a material medium is given by `v=(1)/(sqrt(mu epsilon)),mu` being the permeability of the medium and `epsilon` its permittivity. How does its frequency change ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Frequency of an electromagnetic wave depends on the source of wave and is independent of the nature of a medium.
