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)` :A. `phi_(c)` cannot be equal to `phi_(d)`B. `phi_(d)` cannot be equal to `phi_(e)`C. `(phi_(d)-phi_(f))` is equal to `(phi_(c)-phi_(e))`D. `(phi_(d)-phi_(c))` is equal to `(phi_(f)-phi_(e))`

Answer» Correct Answer - C
`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.
