Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) (A), (B) and (C) only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The correct options are (A), (B) and (C). (A)The formula \(c=\frac{1}{\sqrt{\mu_0 \varepsilon_0}}\) is correct and describes the speed of light in a vacuum. (B) Electromagnetic waves are indeed transverse in nature, meaning the electric and magnetic fields oscillate…
