JEE MAIN - Physics (2022 - 27th June Evening Shift - No. 15)

Given below are two statements :

Statement I : A time varying electric field is a source of changing magnetic field and vice-versa. Thus a disturbance in electric or magnetic field creates EM waves.

Statement II : In a material medium, the EM wave travels with speed $$v = {1 \over {\sqrt {{\mu _0}{ \in _0}} }}$$. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.

Both Statement I and Statement II are true
Both Statement I and Statement II are false
Statement I is correct but Statement II is false
Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is true

Explanation

In a material medium speed of light is given by $$v = {1 \over {\sqrt {{\varepsilon _0}{\varepsilon _r}{\mu _0}{\mu _r}} }}$$. So statement 2 is false.
