Solution
The correct option is B V
When light passes from medium U to medium V, it bends toward the normal. Therefore, the optical density of V is greater than U.
V > U
Using the same logic,
V > W and W > X
V > U, W, X
The optical density of medium V is the highest. Therefore, the refractive index of medium V is the highest.
