Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(6\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, refractive index of the medium, \(n=15\) Permeability of the medium, \[ \mu=5 \times 10^{-7} \mathrm{Hm}^{-1} \] Relative permeability of the medium, \[ \mu_{r}=\frac{\mu}{\mu_{0}}=\frac{5 \times 10^{-7}}{4 \pi \times 10^{-7}}=\frac{5}{4 \pi} \] We know that, refractive…
