    The velocity of electromagnetic radiation in a medium of permittivity \[{{\varepsilon }_{0}}\] and permeability \[{{\mu }_{0}}\] is given by

    A) \[\sqrt{\frac{{{\varepsilon }_{0}}}{{{\mu }_{0}}}}\]          

    B)        \[\sqrt{{{\mu }_{0}}{{\varepsilon }_{0}}}\]

    C) \[\frac{1}{\sqrt{{{\mu }_{0}}{{\varepsilon }_{0}}}}\]        

    D)        \[\sqrt{\frac{{{\mu }_{0}}}{{{\varepsilon }_{0}}}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Velocity of electromagnetic radiation is the velocity of light (c), ie,\[c=\frac{1}{\sqrt{{{\mu }_{0}}{{\varepsilon }_{0}}}}\]where \[{{\mu }_{0}}\] is the permeability and \[{{\varepsilon }_{0}}\] is the permittivity of free space.
