The refractive index of a material with permittivity 16 is given by(a) 16(b) 256(c) 4(d) 8This question was addressed to me in a national level competition.The query is from Brewster Angle in chapter EM Wave Propagation of Electromagnetic Theory

Answer»

The correct choice is (C) 4

The BEST explanation: The refractive index is the square root of the permittivity. Thus N = √ε. Given that ε = 16, we get refractive index as n = 4. It has no UNIT.
