If ε0{\varepsilon _0} and μ0{\mu _0} represent the permittivity and permeability of vacuum and ε\varepsilon and μ\mu represent the permittivity and permeability of medium, then refractive index of the medium is given by
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
μεμ0ε0\sqrt {\frac{{\mathrm{\mu \varepsilon }}}{{{\mathrm{\mu }_0}{\mathrm{\varepsilon }_0}}}}
Option B is correct because the refractive index is the ratio of the speed of light in vacuum to the speed of light in the medium, which is related to the permittivity and permeability of both.
