An EM wave from air enters a medium. The electric fields are $\overrightarrow {{E_1}}  = {E_{01}}\hat x\;cos\left[ {2\pi v\left( {\frac{z}{c} - t} \right)} \right]$ in air and $\overrightarrow {{E_2}}  = {E_{02}}\hat x\;cos\left[ {k\left( {2z - ct} \right)} \right]$ in medium, where the wave number $k$ and frequency $v$ refer to their values in air. The medium is nonmagnetic. If $\varepsilon {_{{r_1}}}$ and $\varepsilon {_{{r_2}}}$ refer to relative permittivities of air and medium respectively, which of the following options is correct?
