Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(9\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Speed of wave \(=\frac{2 \times 10^{10}}{200}=10^{8}\, {m} / {s}\)

Refractive index \(=\frac{3 \times 10^{8}}{10^{8}}=3\)

Now refractive index \(=\sqrt{\varepsilon_{{r}} \mu_{{r}}}\)

\(3=\sqrt{\varepsilon_{{r}}(1)}\)

\(\Rightarrow \varepsilon_{{r}}=9\)
