| A ray hits the y-axis making an angle \[\theta \] with y-axis as shown in the figure. The variation of refractive index with x-coordinate is \[\mu ={{\mu }_{0}}\left( 1-\frac{x}{d} \right)\] for \[0\le x\le d,\]\[\left( 1-\frac{1}{{{\mu }_{0}}} \right)\] and \[\text{ }\mu \text{=}{{\mu }_{0}}\] for x < 0, where d is a positive constant. The maximum x-coordinate of the path traced by the ray is - |
 |
A) \[d\,\,(1-\sin \theta )\]
B) \[d\,\,(1-\cos \theta )\]
C) \[d\,\,\sin \,\,\theta \]
D) \[d\,\,\cos \,\,\theta \]
Correct Answer: B
Solution :
| Snell?s law \[={{\mu }_{0}}\sin \,\,(90{}^\circ -\theta )\] |
| \[={{\mu }_{0}}\left( 1-\frac{x}{d} \right)\,\,\sin 90{}^\circ \]\[\Rightarrow \left( 1-\frac{x}{d} \right)=\cos \theta \]\[\Rightarrow x=d\,\,(1-cos\theta )\] |
