To find the index of refraction of a medium in terms of the electric permittivity and magnetic permeability of free space and the medium, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Definition of Index of Refraction**: The index of refraction \( n \) of a medium is defined as the ratio of the speed of light in vacuum \( c \) to the speed of light in the medium \( v \): \[ n = \frac{c}{v} ...
