JEE Advanced · Physics · 24. Ray Optics

Consider a configuration of n identical units, each consisting of three layers. The first layer is a column of air of height h=13 cm, and the second and third layers are of equal thickness d=3-12 cm, and refractive indices μ1=32 and μ2=3, respectively. A light source O is placed on the top of the first unit, as shown in the figure. A ray of light from O is incident on the second layer of the first unit at an angle of θ=60° to the normal. For a specific value of n, the ray of light emerges from the bottom of the configuration at a distance l=83 cm, as shown in the figure. The value of n is _______.
