    The velocity of electromagnetic waves in a good conductor is

    A) \[3\times {{10}^{8}}\,\,m/s\]     

    B)  zero

    C)  infinite                                

    D)  none of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Velocity of electromagnetic waves in vacuum is given by                 \[C=\frac{1}{\sqrt{{{\mu }_{0}}{{\varepsilon }_{0}}}}\] (here:\[{{\mu }_{0}}=4\pi \times {{10}^{-7}}\,\,N/{{m}^{2}}\] \[{{\varepsilon }_{0}}=\frac{1\times coulom{{b}^{2}}}{4\pi \times 9\times {{10}^{9}}N\times {{m}^{2}}})\] \[{{\varepsilon }_{0}}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{4\pi \times {{10}^{-7}}\times \frac{1}{4\pi \times (9\times {{10}^{9}})}}}\]     \[=\sqrt{9\times {{10}^{16}}}=3\times {{10}^{8}}\,\,m/s\]
