Wave speed from medium permittivity and permeability ==================================================== Speed of electromagnetic wave propagation depends on relative permittivity and relative permeability of the medium. **Notation:** #. :math:`c` (:code:`c`) is :attr:`~symplyphysics.quantities.speed_of_light`. **Links:** #. `Wikipedia, derivable from here `__. .. py:currentmodule:: symplyphysics.laws.waves.wavespeed_from_medium_permittivity_and_permeability .. py:data:: wave_speed Speed of wave propagation in medium.
