A plane electromagnetic wave of angular ...

A plane electromagnetic wave of angular frequency `omega` propagates in a poorly conducting medium of conductivity `sigma` and relative permittivity `varepsilon`. The ratio of conduction current density and displacement current density in the medium is `(p sigma)/(q varepsilon varepsilon_(0) omega) .` Find `(p+q)`. (Answer should be minimum positive integer)
