If ( ₀ ) and ( ₀ ) are the permittivity and permeability of free space and ( ) and ( ) are the corresponding quantities for a medium, then refractive index of the medium is
Options
- A( ₀ ₀ )
- B( ₀ ₀ )
- C( 11 )
- DInsufficient information
Correct answer
B. ( ₀ ₀ )
Step-by-step solution
Given ₀= permittivity of free space ; ₀= permeabilityof free space, = permittivity of medium; = permeability of medium Refractive index of medium, n= C v (1) We know c= 1 ₀ ₀ v= 1 Therefore, n= ₀ ₀ = ₀ ₀ [ from Eq. (1)]
