Chapter 33.1, Problem 33.1TYU
Some crystals are not isotropic: Light travels through the crystal at a higher speed in some directions than in others. In a crystal in which light travels at the same speed in the x- and z-directions but faster in the y-direction, what would be the shape of the wave fronts produced by a light source at the origin? (i) Spherical, like those shown in Fig. 33.3; (ii) ellipsoidal, flattened along the y-axis; (iii) ellipsoidal, stretched out along the y-axis.
