AIPMT MAIN 2008 Physics Velocity of Electromagnetic Waves MCQ Question
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).
