Most materials have the refractive index, n>1n>1. So, when a light ray from air enters a naturally occurring material, then by Snell's law, sin⁡θ1sin⁡θ2=n2n1\frac{\sin \theta_{1}}{\sin \theta_{2}}=\frac{n_{2}}{n_{1}}, it is understood that the refracted ray bends towards the normal. But it never emerges on the same side of the normal as the incident ray. According to electromagnetism, the refractive index of the medium is given by the relation, n=c/v=±εrμr\mathrm{n}=c / v=\pm \sqrt{\varepsilon_{r} \mu_{r}}, where cc is the speed of electromagnetic waves in vacuum, vv its speed in the medium, εr\varepsilon_{r} and μr\mu_{r} are the relative permittivity and permeability of the medium respectively. In normal materials, both εr\varepsilon_{r} and μr\mu_{r}, are positive, implying positive nn for the medium. When both εr\varepsilon_{r} and μr\mu_{r} are negative, one must choose the negative root of nn. Such negative refractive index materials can now be artificially prepared and are called metamaterials. They exhibit significantly different optical behavior, without violating any physical laws. Since nn is negative, it results in a change in the direction of propagation of the refracted light. However, similar to normal materials, the frequency of light remains unchanged upon refraction even in meta-materials. Question: For light incident from air on a meta-material, the appropriate ray diagram isMost materials have the refractive index, n>1 . So, when a light ray from air enters a naturally occurring material,Most materials have the refractive index, n>1 . So, when a light ray from air enters a naturally occurring material,Most materials have the refractive index, n>1 . So, when a light ray from air enters a naturally occurring material,Most materials have the refractive index, n>1 . So, when a light ray from air enters a naturally occurring material,

Correct answer

C. Assertion : Δ H and Δ E are almost the same for the reaction, N_ 2(~g) +O_ 2(~g) leftharpoons 2 NO(g . Reason : All

Step-by-step solution

Let n1=n_{1}= refractive index of air and n2=n_{2}= refractive index of meta material which is negative From Snell's law, n2n1=sin⁡θ1sin⁡θ2\frac{n_{2}}{n_{1}}=\frac{\sin \theta_{1}}{\sin \theta_{2}} ∵n2\because \quad n_{2} negative ∴θ2\therefore \theta_{2} isalso negative hence graph (c) is correct.
