Speed of electromagnetic wave in vacuum: c=μ0ϵ01
Speed in a medium with permeability μ=2μ0 and dielectric constant k=3:
v=μϵ1=2μ0×3ϵ01=6μ0ϵ01
v=61×μ0ϵ01=6c
Ratio of speeds: vc=6
Therefore: c:v=6:1
The ratio of speeds of electromagnetic waves in vacuum and a medium, having dielectric constant k=3 and permeability of μ=2μ0, is
(μ0= permeability of vacuum)
