JEE Main & Advanced Physics Ray Optics Question Bank Refraction of Light at Plane Surfaces

  • question_answer
    The length of the optical path of two media in contact of length \[{{d}_{1}}\] and \[{{d}_{2}}\] of refractive indices \[\]\[{{\mu }_{1}}\] and \[{{\mu }_{2}}\] respectively, is

    A)            \[{{\mu }_{1}}{{d}_{1}}+{{\mu }_{2}}{{d}_{2}}\]       

    B)            \[{{\mu }_{1}}{{d}_{2}}+{{\mu }_{2}}{{d}_{1}}\]

    C)            \[\frac{{{d}_{1}}{{d}_{2}}}{{{\mu }_{1}}{{\mu }_{2}}}\]       

    D)            \[\frac{{{d}_{1}}+{{d}_{2}}}{{{\mu }_{1}}{{\mu }_{2}}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                       Optical path = \[\mu \,t\]                    In medium (1), optical path = \[{{\mu }_{1}}{{d}_{1}}\]                    In medium (2), optical path = \[{{\mu }_{2}}{{d}_{2}}\]            \[\therefore \] Total path = \[{{\mu }_{1}}{{d}_{1}}+{{\mu }_{2}}{{d}_{2}}\]
