A system of coordinatees is drawn in a medium whose refractive index vaires as `mu=(2)/(1+Y^(2))` where `0 le y le 1`. A ray of light is incident at origin at an angle `60^(@)` with y-axis as shown in figure. At point P, the ray becomes parallel to x-axis, the volue of H is -

A

`{((2)/(sqrt3))-1}^(1//2)`

B

`{(2)/(sqrt(3))}^(1//2)`

C

`{(sqrt(3)) - 1}^(1//2)`

D

`((4)/(sqrt(3)) -1}^(1//2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

`mu"sin"theta_(1) = mu_(2)"sin"theta_(2) implies ` at origin x =0 , y=0 `implies mu = 2 "&" theta= 60^(@)`
at point `P : theta = 90^(@) implies 2"sin"60^(@) = mu"sin"90^(@) implies sqrt(3) = (2)/(y^(2)+1) implies y= [((2)/(sqrt(3))) -1]^(1//2)`
