The refractive index of medium of a rectangular slab varies as μ=1+γ . The ray enter from air to slab at origin in the condition of grazing incidence. The trajectory of ray inside slab is

a
Straight line
b
parabola
c
ellipse
d
circle

detailed solution

Correct option is B

Here,  usinθ=KOr  1+ysinθ=K  For air  1×sin900=K  (grazing incidence)∴K=11+ysinθ=1 ∴sinθ=11+y ⇒tanθ=11+y−1=1y⇒dxdy=1y ⇒ 0xdx= 0y1ydy ⇒x=[y−12+1−12+1]0y⇒x=[2y]0y ⇒x=2y ⇒x2=4y
