Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) electric and magnetic properties of the medium

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The velocity of light \((v)\) in any given medium is determined by its permittivity \((\epsilon)\), which represents its electric property, and its permeability \((\mu)\), which represents its magnetic property. This relationship is defined by the following formula:…
