A ray of light travelling in air is incident at angle of incident on one surface of slab in which refractive index varies with y. The light travels along the curve (y and x are in metre) in the slab. Find out the value of , is the refractive index of the slab at in the slab.

Answer:
3
Solution:

varies with , so along the ray constant ( = angle with y-axis)

At entry the ray in the slab is horizontal ( at ): , so

At : , slope , so

, so
