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 as shown in the figure. A ray of light is incident with angle from medium 1 and emerges in medium 2 with refraction angle with a lateral displacement . Which of the following statement(s) is (are) true?

- Correct answerAis independent of
- Correct answerBis dependent on n (z)
- C
- Correct answerD
Solution
For parallel slab
And depends on refractive angle in slab
depends on refractive index of slab and independent of
And depends on refractive angle in slab
depends on refractive index of slab and independent of
Hence, the correct answer is options: 'A', 'B', 'D'.
