Back to Ray OpticsA right-angled prism of refractive index \mu
1
is placed in a rectangular block of refractive index \mu
2
, which is surrounded by a medium of refractive index \mu
3
, as shown in the figure. A ray of light e enters the rectangular block at normal incidence. Depending upon the relationships between \mu
1
, \mu
2
and \mu
3
, it takes one of the four possible paths 'ef', 'eg', 'eh' or 'ei'.
Match the paths in List I with conditions of refractive indices in List II and select the correct answer using the codes given below the lists:
List I
List II
P.
