A light beam travelling along the x axis with planar wavefront is incident on a medium of thickness t . In the region, where light is falling the refractive index can be taken to be varying such that dn dy >0 . The light beam on the other side of the medium will emerge
Options
- Aparallel to the x -axis
- Bbending downward
- Cbending upward
- Dsplit into two or more beams
Correct answer
C. bending upward
Step-by-step solution
In y direction refractive index is increasing therefore speed of light is decreasing
