Q108 / 120 · VITEEE 2013 · Physics
If $\varepsilon_{0}$ and $\mu_{0}$ represent the permittivity and permeability of vaccum and $\varepsilon$ and $\mu$ represent the permittivity and permeability of medium, then refractive index of the medium is given by
- A$\sqrt{\frac{\varepsilon_{0} \mu_{0}}{\varepsilon \mu}}$
- Correct answerB$\sqrt{\frac{\varepsilon \mu}{\varepsilon_{0} \mu_{0}}}$
- C$\sqrt{\frac{\mu_{0} \varepsilon_{0}}{\varepsilon}}$
- D$\sqrt{\frac{\mu_{0} \varepsilon_{0}}{\mu}}$
Solution
Refractive index of a medium $\mu=\sqrt{\frac{\mu \varepsilon}{\mu_{0} \varepsilon_{0}}}$
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
