Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
(A) \(\rightarrow\) since \(\mu_1 < \mu_2\), the ray of light will bend towards normal after first refraction.
(B) \(\rightarrow \mu_1>\mu_2\), the ray of light will bend away from the normal after first refraction.
(C) \(\rightarrow\) since \(\mu_2=\mu_3\) means in second refraction there will be no change in the path of ray of light.
(D) \(\rightarrow\) Since \(\mu_2>\mu_3\), ray of light will bend away from the normal after second refraction.
Therefore the correct options are as under.
