In the figure...

Question

In the figure shown $μ_{1}$ , $μ_{2}$ , $μ_{3}$ , $μ_{4}$ and $μ_{5}$ are the refractive indices of the mediums 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 respectively.
Consider the following
1. $μ_{1}$ = $μ_{2}$
2. $μ_{3}$ = $μ_{4}$ = $μ_{5}$
3. $μ_{2}$ < $μ_{3}$
4. $μ_{4}$ > $μ_{5}$
Which of the relations of refractive indices are correct?

Solution

The correct option is C Only 1
When a ray of light travels from a medium to another medium having different refractive index, the ray bends. Since in the above figure, ray of light passes through the first lens without deflection, this means that $μ_{1} = μ_{2}$ .

The correct option is C Only 1When a ray of light travels from a medium to another medium having different refractive index, the ray bends. Since in the above figure, ray of light passes through the first lens without deflection, this means that μ1=μ2.
