    Electromagnetic waves travel in a medium which has relative permeability 1.3 and relative permittivity 2.14. Then the speed of the electromagnetic wave in the medium will be

    A) \[13.6\,\times {{10}^{6}}\,m/s\]               

    B) \[1.8\times {{10}^{2}}\,m/s\]

    C) \[3.6\,\times {{10}^{8}}\,m/s\] 

    D) \[1.8\times {{10}^{8}}\,m/s\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    The speed of electromagnetic wave in medium is \[\upsilon =\frac{c}{\sqrt{{{\mu }_{r}}{{\varepsilon }_{r}}}}=\frac{3\times {{10}^{8}}}{\sqrt{1.3}\times 2.14}=\frac{3\times {{10}^{8}}}{1.67}\] \[=1.8\times {{10}^{8}}\,m/s\]
