Question

Problem 5

Answer 1

Given information

Three medium of refractive indices of and light crosses these three refractive indices.

 

Step-by-step explanation

Step 1.

Light bends when it travels from one media to every another. When it travels from a media with a lower refractive index to a media with a higher index, the light rays bend towards the normal. When it travels from a media with a higher refractive index to a media with a lower index, the light rays bend away from normal. Subsequently, as light travels from media 1 to 2, the light ray bends towards normal which means media 2 has a higher refractive index than media 1. In addition, as it travels to media 3, it bends far away from regular this means that media 3 has lower refractive index than media 2. The light bends more in media 3 than in media 1.
