Will a ray go undeviating if the medium on both sides of a slab are different?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine whether a ray of light will go undeviated when passing through a slab with different refractive indices on both sides, we can analyze the situation step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Slab and Mediums**: - We have a slab with two different mediums on either side. Let’s denote the refractive index of the medium on the left side as \( n_1 \), the refractive index of the slab as \( n \), and the refractive index of the medium on the right side as \( n_2 \). 2. **Incident Ray**: ...

When a ray of light is going from one medium to another its

A light ray travelling in a medium of refractive index mu_(1) is incident on a parallel faced glass slab making an angle of theta with the glass surface. The refractive index of the medium on the other side of the glass slab is mu_(3) ( gt mu_(1)) . Find the angular deviation suffered by the light ray.

A ray of light travelling in air is incident on a composite transparent slab at an angle of incidence i = 45° . The composite slab consist of 100 parallel faced slices of equal thickness. The refractive index of the n^(th) slice (counting from the one on which light is incident) is given by mu_(n) = 1.0 + 0.01n . The medium on the other side of the slab has refractive index of sqrt(2) . Calculate the angular deviation suffered by the ray as it comes out of the slab.
