A ray of light A O in vacuum is incident on a glass slab at angle 60 ° and refracted at angle 30 ° along O B as shown in the figure. The optical path length of light ray from A to B is:
Options
- A2 3 a + 2 b
- B2 a + 2 b
- C2 a + 2 b 3
- D2 a + 2 b 3
Correct answer
B. 2 a + 2 b
Step-by-step solution
Optical path length = O A + μOB = a c o s   60 o + μ b c o s   30 o = 2 a + μ 2 b 3 From Snell’s law, s i n   60 o = μ   s i n   30 o μ = 3 Optical path length = 2 a + 3 2 b 3 = 2 a + b
