Answer to Problem 1FC

The correct option is (c) nC,nA,nB .

Explanation of Solution

When a ray of light travels from liquid A to liquid B, the incident ray gets refracted and bends away from the normal in liquid B. Therefore, the refractive index of liquid A is greater than the refractive index of liquid B, that is, nA>nB .

When a ray of light travels from liquid A to liquid C, the incident ray gets refracted and bends towards the normal in liquid C. Therefore, the refractive index of liquid A is less than the refractive index of liquid C, that is, nA<nC .

Hence, the refractive index of C is greater than the refractive indices of A and B, that is, nC>nA>nB .

Conclusion:

Hence, the correct option is (c) nC,nA,nB .
