The optical properties of a medium are governed by the relative permitivity (epsi_(r)) and relative permeability (mu_(r)) . The refractive index is defined as sqrt(mu_(r)epsi_(r))=n . For ordinary material epsi_(r)gt0 and mu_(r)gt0 and the positive sign is taken for the square root. In 1964, a Russian scientist V. Veselago postulated the existence of material with epsi_(r)lt0andmu_(r)lt0 . Since then such 'metamaterials' have been produced in the laboratories and their optical properties studied. For such materials n=-sqrt(mu_(r)epsi_(r)) . As light enters a medium of such refractive index the phases travel away from the direction of propagation. (i) According to the description above show that if rays of light enter such a medium from air (refractive index = 1) at an angle theta in 2^(nd) quadrant, then the refracted beam is in the 3^(rd) quadrant. (ii) Prove that Snell's law holds for such a medium.

A transparent slab of thickness d has a refractive index n(z) that increases with z. Here z is the vertical distance inside the slab, measured from the top.
