(mu0 epsilon0)^(-1/2) is exactly the speed of light c, so its dimension is that of velocity, [M^0 L^1 T^-1].

Maxwell's electromagnetic theory gives the speed of an electromagnetic wave in vacuum as:

c = 1 / sqrt(mu0 epsilon0)

where mu0 is the permeability of free space and epsilon0 is the permittivity of free space.

Rearranging, (mu0 epsilon0)^(-1/2) = 1/sqrt(mu0 epsilon0) = c.
