A ray of light passes through four transparent media with refractive indices `mu_(1),mu_(2),mu_(3), and mu_(4)` as shown in figure. The surfaces of all media are paralle. If the emerent ray CD is parallel to the incident ray AB, we must have

A

`mu_(1) = mu_(2)`

B

`mu_(2) = mu_(3)`

C

`mu_(3) = mu_(4)`

D

`mu_(4) = mu_(1)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Applying Snell's law at B and C ,

`mu "sin"1 ` = constant or `mu_(1) "sin" I_(B)= mu_(4) "sin" i_(C)`
But `AB || CD therefore i_(B) = i_(C) "or" mu_(1) = mu_(4)`
