For a medium with permittivity \( (\epsilon) \) and permeability \( (\mu) \), the speed of light \( (v) \) is given by :

  1. A \( v = \sqrt{\frac{\mu}{\epsilon}} \)
  2. B \( v = \sqrt{\mu\epsilon} \)
  3. C \( v = \frac{1}{\sqrt{\mu\epsilon}} \)
  4. D \( v = \sqrt{\frac{\epsilon}{\mu}} \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \( v = \sqrt{\frac{\mu}{\epsilon}} \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The speed of light in any medium is determined by the electromagnetic properties of that medium: its permittivity \((\epsilon)\) and permeability \((\mu)\). In a vacuum, the speed is \(c=\frac{1}{\sqrt{\mu_0 \epsilon_0}}\). In a material medium, the speed \(v\) is similarly…
