There are certain materials developed in laboratories which have a negative refractive index, Fig. A ray incident from air (medium 1) into such a medium (medium 2) shall follow a path given by
.

A

B

C

D

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
According to Snell's law, `mu = (sin i)/(sin r)` or `sin r = (sin i)/(mu)`
As `mu` is negative , sin `r` is negative `:. r` is negative. The path shown in Fig. (a) is correct.
