Physics-Maxwell's Equations

NEET Physics Maxwell's Equations Assertion Reason Question

Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Medium-Class 12

Assertion (A): The relation ω = ck is a standard wave relation in electromagnetic theory. | Reason (R): The speed of light c can be derived from the permittivity and permeability of free space.

A

Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.

B

Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.

C

A is true, but R is false.

D

A is false.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The relation ω = ck is a fundamental wave relation, derived from Maxwell's equations, showing that electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light c, which is determined by the permittivity and permeability of free space.
