A monochromatic light wave is incident normally on a glass slab of thickness d, as shown in the figure. The refractive index of the slab increases linearly from n1 to n2 over the height h. Which of the following statement(s) is(are) true about the light wave emerging out of the slab?

  1. A It will deflect up by an angle tan-1n22-n12d2h
  2. B It will deflect up by an angle tan-1n2-n1dh
  3. C It will not deflect
  4. D The deflection angle depends only on (n2-n1) and not on the individual values of n1 and n2
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) The deflection angle depends only on (n2-n1) and not on the individual values of n1 and n2

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Dashed line MN and PQ are incident wave front. Just before entering the slab PQ is maxima.
