Relative permittivity to velocity

The propagation velocity (V) and the relative dielectric constant or dielectric permittivity normalised to air (e i) are related by:

formula

where C is the velocity of electromagnetic waves in free space (speed of light), approximately 2.998 x 108 m/s.

Click to calculate

A permittivity of >> << equates to a velocity of cm/ns or a slowness of ns/ft
