If are the electric permittivity and magnetic permeability of free space and are the corresponding quantities in the medium, the index of refraction of the medium in terms of above parameter is
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
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 can be expressed in terms of permittivity and permeability.

Statement I: Sound waves are not electromagnetic waves.
Statement II: Sound waves require a material medium for propagation. For a plane electromagnetic wave propagating in x-direction, which one of the following combination gives the correct possible directions for electric field and magnetic field respectively? Assertion: The relative velocity of two photons travelling in opposite directions is the velocity of light.
Reason: The rest mass of photon is zero Intensity of electromagnetic wave will be The rms value of the electric field of the light coming from the Sun is . The average total energy density of the electromagnetic wave is Methane is a greenhouse gas because
