In the figure shown plane waves are refracted from air to water using Huygen's principle a, b, c, d, e are lengths on the diagram. The refractive index of air with respect to water is in the ratio.

A

a/e

B

b/e

C

b/d

D

d/b

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

form the snells law
`1xxsin(90-theta_(1))=musintheta_(1)`
`1xx(b)/(c)=muxx(d)/(c)thereforemu=(b)/(d)`
