A ray of light passes through four transparent media with refractive indices mu_(1),mu_(2),mu_(3), and mu_(4) as shown in figure. The surfaces of all media are paralle. If the emerent ray CD is parallel to the incident ray AB, we must have

Answer»

`mu_(1)=mu_(2)`
`mu_(2)=mu_(3)`
`mu_(3)=mu_(4)`
`mu_(4)=mu_(1)`

Solution :Applying Snell's law at P,
`.^(1)mu_(2)=(sini)/(sinr_(1))=(mu_(2))/(mu_(1))`(i)
Applying Snlle's law at Q,
`.^(2)mu_(3)=(sinr_(1))/(sinr_(2))=(mu_(3))/(mu_(2))`(ii)
Again, applying Snell's law at R,
`.^(3)mu_(4)=(sinr_(1))/(sinr_(2))=(mu_(4))/(mu_(3))` (iii)
Multiplying (i), (ii) and (iii) , we get
`mu_(4)=mu_(1)`
Correct option is (d).
