Electromagnetic Waves

Question:

Which is the correct expression of velocity of light?

Options:

$\frac{1}{\sqrt{\varepsilon_0 \mu_0}}$

$\frac{E_0}{B_0}$

$\frac{c}{\mu}$

All of these

Correct Answer:

All of these

Explanation:

The velocity of electromagnetic waves in free space is given by

$c=\frac{1}{\sqrt{\mu_0 \varepsilon_0}}=\frac{E_0}{B_0}=3 \times 10^8 ms^{-1}$

Moreover, velocity of light in a medium with refractive index µ is, v = $\frac{c}{µ}$
