A monochromatic light wave is incident normally on a glass slab of thickness , as shown in the figure. The refractive index of the slab increases linearly from to over the height . Which of the following statement(s) is(are) true about the light wave emerging out of the slab?
Dashed line and are incident wave front.
Just before entering the slab is maxima.
and are the points on other face of slab.
So, will be at a lead of w.r.t.
and will be at lead of w.r.t.
As the medium on the right side is homogeneous, so to have same path lead as must travel to , such that .
