The figure shows XY separating two transparent media, medium-1 and medium-2. The lenes ab and cd represent wavefronts of a light wave travelling in medium-1 and incident on XY. The lines rf and gh represent wavefronts of the light wave in medium-2 after refraction. The phases of the light wave at c,d,e and f are phi_(c),phi_(d),phi_(e) and phi_(f) respectively. It is given that phi_(c)=phi_(f) :

Answer»

`phi_(C)` cannot be equal to `phi_(d)`
`phi_(d)` cannot be equal to `phi_(E)`
`(phi_(d)-phi_(f))` is equal to `(phi_(c)-phi_(e))`
`(phi_(d)-phi_(c))` is equal to `(phi_(f)-phi_(e))`

SOLUTION :`c` and `d` are at same wavefronts
So, `phi_(c)=phi_(d)`
and `phi_(e)=phi_(f)`
`therefore phi_(d)-phi_(f)=phi_(c)-phi_(f)`
`D` is incorrect
`phi_(d)-phi_(c)=0`
`phi_(f)-phi_(e)=0`
So both should be equal.
