A ray of light passes through four transparent media with refractive index ( n₁, n₂, n₃ ) and ( n₄ ) as shown. The surfaces of all media are parallel If the emergent ray ( D E ) is parellel to incident ray ( A B ), then
Options
- A( n₁=n₄ )
- B( n₂=n₄ )
- C( n₃=n₄ )
- D( n₁= n₂+n₃+n₄ 3 )
Correct answer
A. ( n₁=n₄ )
Step-by-step solution
Given, ( 4 ) transparent media ( n₁, n₂, n₃ ) and ( n₄ ) are parallel to each other and a ray of light passes through it. Then by Snell's law for multiple media, we have [ n₁ ₁=n₄ ₄ ] But ( ₁= ₄ ) Therefore, ( n₁=n₄ )
