  1. A 10
  2. B 6
  3. C 5
  4. D 20
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 10

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( v = \frac{c}{\sqrt{\mu_r \varepsilon_r}} \Rightarrow \varepsilon_r = \frac{1}{\mu_r} \left(\frac{c}{v}\right)^2 \) \( \varepsilon_r = \frac{1}{0.4} \left(\frac{3 \times 10^8 \text{ m/s}}{1.5 \times 10^8 \text{ m/s}}\right)^2 \)…
