At room temperature, if the relative permittivity of water be $80$ and the relative permeability be $0.0222$, then the velocity of light in water is ________ $m/{s}^{-1}$

  1. $3\times { 10 }^{ 8 }\quad $

  2. $2.25\times { 10 }^{ 8 }$

  3. $2.5\times { 10 }^{ 8 }$

  4. $3.5\times { 10 }^{ 8 }$


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Formula 

$V=\cfrac{1}{\sqrt{\mu _0\epsilon _0}}\V^1=\cfrac{1}{\mu _r\epsilon _r}\ \Rightarrow \cfrac{V}{V^1}=\sqrt{\cfrac{\mu _r\epsilon _r}{\mu _0\epsilon _0}}$
$\Rightarrow\cfrac{V^1}{V}=\sqrt{\cfrac{\mu _0}{}{\mu _r}\times\cfrac{\epsilon _0}{\epsilon _r}}=\sqrt{\cfrac{1}{80}\times\cfrac{1}{0.0222}}\ \Rightarrow V^1=\sqrt{\cfrac{1}{80}\times\cfrac{1}{0.0222}}\times V\ \quad=\sqrt{\cfrac{1}{80}\times\cfrac{1}{0.022}}\times3\times10^8\ \quad=2.249\times 10^8\ \quad\approx2.22\times10^8m/s$
