Question
There are certain material developed in laboratories which have a negative refractive index (Figure). A ray incident from air (medium 1) into such a medium (medium 2) shall follow a path given by.
Options
Solution
Explanation:
The materials with negative refractive index respond to Snell’s law just the opposite way. If an incident ray from air (Medium 1) incident on those materials, the ray refract or bend the same side of the normal.
