If an optical medium possesses a relative permeability of 10 and relative permittivity of 10.0885, then the velocity of light is greater in vacuum than that in this medium by times. ( 0 = 4 10-7 H/m, 0 = 8.85 10-12 F/m, c = 3 108 m/s)
Answer
6
Solution
Speed of light in vacuum: c = 1 0 0; in the medium: v = 1 = 1 r r 0 0
cv = r r
cv = 10 10.0885 = 100.278
cv = 36 6
