Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 12

The velocity of electromagnetic radiation in a medium of permittivity ε₀ and permeability μ₀ is given by

A

√(μ₀/ε₀)

B

√(ε₀/μ₀)

C

μ₀ε₀

D

1/√(μ₀ε₀)

Correct Answer

Option D

Detailed Explanation

The velocity of electromagnetic waves in a medium is given by the inverse of the square root of the product of permittivity and permeability, i.e., v = 1/√(μ₀ε₀).
