Diffraction of light-Wave Optics
Question

In for a calcite crystal, μ0 and μe are the refractive indices of the crystal for O-ray and E-ray respectively, then along the optic axis of the crystal

Easy
Solution

 

Calcite is a negative crystal .  Negative crystals are crystals in which refractive index corresponding to E-Ray (μe)  is less than the refractive index corresponding to O-Ray ( μ0) in all directions except for Optic axis. So , along the optic axis  μ0=μe
