A rectangular block is composed of three different glass prisms (with refractive indices `mu_(1), mu_(2)` and `mu_(3)`) as shown in the figure below. A ray of light incident normal to the left face emerges normal to the right face. Then the refractive indices are related by

A

`mu_(1)^(2)+mu_(2)^(2)=2mu_(3)^(2)`

B

`mu_(1)^(2)+mu_(2)^(2)=mu_(3)^(2)`

C

`mu_(1)^(2)+mu_(3)^(2)=2mu_(2)^(2)`

D

`mu_(2)^(2)+mu_(3)^(2)=2mu_(1)^(2)`
