The ratio of speeds of electromagnetic waves in vacuum and a medium, having dielectric constant k = 3 and permeability of = 2 0, is ( 0 = permeability of vacuum)

  1. 6 : 1
  2. 3 : 2
  3. 6 : 1
  4. 36 : 1

Answer

(3) 6 : 1

Solution

Speed in vacuum: c = 1 0 0

Speed in the medium: v = 1 = 1 (2 0)(3 0)

cv = 0 0 = 2 3 = 6

c : v = 6 : 1

Answer: (3)
