Maxwell's equations predict that the speed of electromagnetic waves in free space is given by: A)µ₀ε₀ B)(µ₀ε₀)^1/2 C)1/ µ₀ε₀ D)1/(µ₀ε₀)^1/2 E)1/(µ₀ε₀)²

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The speed of electromagnetic waves in free space is given by the equation $c = \frac{1}{\sqrt{\mu_0 \epsilon_0}}$, where $\mu_0$ is the permeability of free space and $\epsilon_0$ is the permittivity of free space. This matches choice D.
