Question

A ray of light travelling in air is incident almost along y-axis on a medium of variable refractive index at the origin. The refractive index of the medium changes according to the relation $μ = 1 + x^{2}$ . What is the light ray vector at the point where the x coordinate becomes equal to 1?

(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}) i + (\frac{1}{2}) j

Solution

The correct option is A $(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}) i + (\frac{1}{2}) j$
Consider the given opions ,taking option b and considering given condition that $x = 1$
$∴ | v | = {(\frac{1}{2})}^{2} + ({\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2})}^{2} = 1$
