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)
- 6 : 1
- 3 : 2
- 6 : 1
- 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)
