Parallel light rays cross interfaces from medium 1 into

Chapter 23, Problem 5MCQ

(choose chapter or problem)

Parallel light rays cross interfaces from medium 1 into medium 2 and then into medium 3 as shown in Fig. 23–51. What can we say about the relative sizes of the indices of refraction of these media?

(a) \(n_{1}>n_{2}>n_{3}\)


(b) \(n_{3}>n_{2}>n_{1}\)


(c) \(n_{2}>n_{3}>n_{1}\)


(d) \(n_{1}>n_{3}>n_{2} \)


(e) \(n_{2}>n_{1}>n_{3}\)


(f)   None of the above.
