    The dielectric constant of air is 1.006. The speed of electromagnetic wave travelling in air is\[a\times {{10}^{8}}m{{s}^{-1}},\]where a is about

    A)  3                                            

    B)  3.88                      

    C)  2.5                        

    D)         3.2

    E)  2.8

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    For an electromagnetic wave (in vacuum), Velocity \[c=\frac{1}{\sqrt{{{\mu }_{0}}{{\varepsilon }_{0}}}}=3\times {{10}^{8}}m{{s}^{-1}}\] Air acts almost as vacuum, hence \[a=3(approx)\]
