An EM wave from air enters a medium.The electric fields are

\vec{E_{1}}= E_{01} \hat{x} cos [ 2\pi v\left ( \frac{z}{c} \ -t )\right ] in air and  \vec{E_{2}}= E_{02} \hat{x} cos [ k (2z-ct) ] in medium, where the wave number k and frequency ν refer to their values in air. The medium is non-magnetic. If  \epsilon {_{r1}} and \epsilon {_{r2}} refer to relative permittivities of air and medium respectively, which of the following options is correct ?

Wave equation is given by

E= E_{o} Sin w (t -\frac{x}{c})

E_x=E \sin\left ( \omega t-kx \right )

K = \frac{\omega }{C}

Speed of light formula in vacuum -

c=\frac{1}{\sqrt{\mu_{o}\epsilon _{o}}}

c=2.99793 X 10^{8} m/s

- wherein

c = Speed of light in vacuum

\mu_{o} = Permeability of vacuum

\epsilon _{o} = Permittivity of vacuum

Speed of light formula in medium-

c=\frac{1}{\sqrt{\mu_{o}\mu_{r}\epsilon _{o}\epsilon _{r}}}

 \frac{V}{C}=\frac{1}{2}        (where v= speed in medium and c=speed of light in air)

For non magnetic medium; \mu =1

 

 {\frac{\epsilon _{r1}}{\epsilon_{r2}}} =\frac{1}{4}
