A ray enters a glass slab at an angle α\alpha from air and the refractive index varies along the slab as μ=μ0−kt2\mu=\mu_0-k t^2 where tt is the distance measured along the normal. μ0\mu_0 and kk are positive constants. If the glass slab is sufficiently thick, how far along the normal will the ray go before it reflects back?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
μ0−sin⁡θk\sqrt{\frac{\mu_0-\sin \theta}{k}}
Option C (μ0−sin⁡θk\sqrt{\frac{\mu_0-\sin \theta}{k}}) is correct because it is derived from Snell's law and integration, considering the varying refractive index.
