VO  and  VE{V_O}\;and\;{V_E} represent the velocities, μO  and  μE{\mu _O}\;and\;{\mu _E} the refractive indices of ordinary and extraordinary rays for a doubly refracting crystal. Then
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
Vo≤VE,μo≥μE{V_o} \le {V_E},{\mu _o} \ge {\mu _E} if the crystal is calcite
For a calcite crystal, the refractive index for the ordinary ray is greater than that for the extraordinary ray (μo>μE\mu_o > \mu_E), which implies that the velocity of the ordinary ray is less than that of the extraordinary ray (Vo<VEV_o < V_E).
