Physics Question on Electromagnetic waves

The speed of light is vacuum is equal to

A

1μ0ε0\frac{1}{\sqrt{\mu_0 \varepsilon_0}}

B

μ02ε02\mu_0^2 \varepsilon_0^2

C

μ0ε0\sqrt{\mu_0 \varepsilon_0}

D

1μ0ε0\frac{1}{\sqrt{\mu_{0} \varepsilon_{0}}}

Answer

1μ0ε0\frac{1}{\sqrt{\mu_0 \varepsilon_0}}

Explanation

Solution

The speed of light in the vaccum is given by the formula C=1μ0ε0C=\frac{1}{\sqrt{\mu_{0} \varepsilon_{0}}} where, μ0=\mu_{0}= permeability of vacuum or air ε0=\varepsilon_{0}= permittivity of air.
