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
μ0=μe
μ0>μe
μ0<μe
μ0<<μe
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
