The correct answer is: 15

Given : Frequency of wave f=5GHz

=5×109 Hz

Relative permittivity, ϵr=2 and Relative permeability, μr=2 Since speed of light in a medium is given by,

v=1μ=1μrμ0·ϵr0

v=1μrϵf1μ0ϵ0=Cμrϵr

Where C is speed of light is vacuum

 v=3×1084=30×1072 m s-1

=15×107 m s-1

Ans. is 15
