NEET 2022 Physics Speed of Light in Medium MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 12

When light propagates through a material medium of relative permittivity εᵣ and relative permeability μᵣ, the velocity of light, v, is given by: (c-velocity of light in vacuum)

A

v = c/√(εᵣμᵣ)

B

v = c/√(εᵣμᵣ)

C

v = c

D

v = μᵣ/√(εᵣ)

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The velocity of light in a medium is given by v = c/√(εᵣμᵣ), where c is the speed of light in vacuum.
