Light is an electromagnetic wave. Its speed in vacuum is given by the expression

  1. A \(\sqrt{\mu_0 \varepsilon_0}\)
  2. B \(\sqrt{\frac{\mu_0}{\varepsilon_0}}\)
  3. C \(\sqrt{\frac{\varepsilon_0}{\mu_0}}\)
  4. D \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{\mu_0 \varepsilon_0}}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{\mu_0 \varepsilon_0}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Speed of light (EM wave) in vacuum or air is given as \(c=\frac{1}{\sqrt{\mu_0 \varepsilon_0}}\) where, \(\mu_0=\) permeability of free space and \(\quad \varepsilon_0=\) permittivity of free space.
