Physics Question on Electromagnetic waves
In a medium the speed of light wave decreases to 0.2 times to its speed in free space The ratio of relative permittivity to the refractive index of the medium is x:1 The value of x is(Given speed of light in free space =3×108ms−1 and for the given medium μ=1)
Answer
The correct answer is 5.
V=μC⇒μ=VC=0.2CC
μ=5
μ=ϵrμr
⇒ϵr=μrμ2
∴μϵr=μrμ=5
