Hey guys, I have a telecomms exam next and I am bit confused on one of the formulae we have. The formula is: C = Co / √εr which is used to calculate the speed of the wave in a coaxial cable for example. Where C is the speed in the desired medium, Co is the speed of light in a vacuum and εr is the relative permittivity in a medium
Whats bothering me is shouldnt there be a relative permeability term in there as well? Like we have been shown in another subject that the speed of light in a vacuum is equal to 1/ √(εoεrμoμr) [i think]
