MCQ

Light is an electromagnetic wave. Its speed in vacuum is given by the expression

A
$\sqrt {{\mu _o}{\varepsilon _o}} $
B
$\sqrt {\frac{{{\mu _o}}}{{{\varepsilon _o}}}} $
C
$\sqrt {\frac{{{\varepsilon _o}}}{{{\mu _o}}}} $
✓
$\frac{1}{{\sqrt {{\mu _o}{\varepsilon _o}} }}$

✓

Answer

Correct option: D.

$\frac{1}{{\sqrt {{\mu _o}{\varepsilon _o}} }}$

d
${\mu _0} = 4\pi \times {10^{ - 7}},\,{\varepsilon _0} = 8.85 \times {10^{ - 12}}\frac{{N{\rm{ - }}{m^2}}}{{{C^2}}}$
so $c = \frac{1}{{\sqrt {{\mu _0}{\varepsilon _0}} }} = 3 \times {10^8}\frac{{meter}}{{sec}}.$
