    The electrical permittivity and magnetic permeability of free space are respectively \[{{\varepsilon }_{o}}\] and \[{{\mu }_{0}}\]. The corresponding value for a medium is:

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

    B)  \[{{\left( \frac{{{\mu }_{o}}{{\varepsilon }_{o}}}{\mu \varepsilon } \right)}^{3/2}}\]

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

    D)  \[\frac{{{\mu }_{o}}{{\varepsilon }_{o}}}{\mu \varepsilon }\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     \[{{\mu }_{0}}\] is called permeability of free space and \[{{\varepsilon }_{0}}\]is called permittivity of free space. From Huygens wave theory \[n=\frac{speed\text{ }of\text{ }light\text{ }in\text{ }vacuum\text{ }\left( c \right)}{speed\text{ }of\text{ }light\text{ }in\text{ }medium\text{ }\left( v \right)}\] Since, \[c=\frac{1}{\sqrt{{{\mu }_{0}}{{\varepsilon }_{0}}}},\,v=\frac{1}{\mu \varepsilon }\] \[\therefore \] \[n=\sqrt{\frac{\mu \varepsilon }{{{\mu }_{0}}{{\varepsilon }_{0}}}}\]
