The velocity of electromagnetic radiation in a medium of permittivity `epsilon_(0)` and permeability `mu_(0)` is given by:

A

`sqrt(mu//E)`

B

`sqrt(muepsi)`

C

`1//sqrt(muepsi)`

D

`sqrt(epsi//mu)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
For a medium with permittivity `epsi` and permeability `mu`, velocity of light is given by
`c = (1)/(sqrt(muepsi))`
