Path of a ray of light passing thorugh three liquids of refraction indices, $μ_1, μ_2, μ_3$, is shown below. The liquid which has smallest index of refraction is - |
$μ_1$ $μ_2$ $μ_3$ $μ_1=μ_2=μ_3$ |
$μ_2$ |
The correct answer is Option (2) - $μ_2$ When light entered the medium $μ_1$ it get lightly bend outwards of $μ_2$ $⇒μ_2<μ_1$ $⇒μ_3<μ_1$ ∴ Smallest index is $μ_2$. |
