Q42 / 54 · JEE Advanced 2016 (Paper 1) · Physics

A transparent slab of thickness d has a refractive index n (z) that increases with z. Here z is the vertical distance inside the slab, measured from the top. The slab is placed between two media with uniform refractive indices n1 and n2 >n1,  as shown in the figure. A ray of light is incident with angle θi from medium 1 and emerges in medium 2 with refraction angle θf with a lateral displacement l . Which of the following statement(s) is (are) true?
Figure

  • Correct answer
    A
    l is independent of n2
  • Correct answer
    B
    l is dependent on n (z)
  • C
    n1sin⁡θi=n2-n1sin⁡θf
  • Correct answer
    D
    n1sin⁡θi=n2sin⁡θf

Solution

For parallel slab
n1sin⁡θi=n2sin⁡θf
And l depends on refractive angle in slab
∴   l depends on refractive index of slab and independent of n2

Hence, the correct answer is options: 'A', 'B', 'D'.
