Undergrad Speed of Light in Different Mediums: Exploring Maxwell Equations
Based on Maxwell equations, we can determine the speed of light as: $$c=\frac{1}{\sqrt{\epsilon_{0}\mu_{0}}}$$ Where ##\epsilon_{0}## is the electric permittivity of vacuum and ##\mu_{0}## is the magnetic permittivity of vacuum. This notation makes me believe that in other mediums those...- Cosmic Lollipop
