If ${\varepsilon _0}$ and ${\mu _0}$ are respectively the electric permittivity and the magnetic permeability of free space,and ${\varepsilon}$ and ${\mu}$ are the corresponding quantities in a medium,the refractive index of the medium is:

  • A
    $\sqrt {\frac{{\mu \varepsilon }}{{{\mu _0}{\varepsilon _0}}}} $
  • B
    $\frac{{\mu \varepsilon }}{{{\mu _0}{\varepsilon _0}}}$
  • C
    $\sqrt {\frac{{{\mu _0}{\varepsilon _0}}}{{\mu \varepsilon }}} $
  • D
    $\sqrt {\frac{{\mu {\mu _0}}}{{\varepsilon \,{\varepsilon _0}}}} $
