A ray of light travelling in air is incident at angle of incidence `I~~90^(@)` on a long rectangular slab of a transparent medium of thickness `y_(0)`. The medium has a variable refractive index of `mu(x)=sqrt(1+ke^(2x//a),xge0` wher a is a positive constant

A

In the above situation if `y_0` = a/2, the co-ordinates of the point where the ray intersects the upper surface of the slab-air boundary are `[aln2, a/2]`

B

In the above situation if `y_0` = a/2, the co-ordinates of the point where the ray intersects the upper surface of the slab-air boundary are `[a/2 ln2, a/2]`

C

the angle made by light ray with +ve x-axis, at the upper surface of slab air boundary, inside the medium is `pi//3`

D
