Question
Explanation as to why it is correct
Light leaves a source at X and travels to Y along the path shown below. Which of the following statements is correct? The index of refraction is the same for the two media. Light travels faster in medium 2 than in medium 1. Snell's law breaks down at the interface. Light would arrive at Y in less time by taking a straight line path from X to Y than it does taking the path shown above. Light leaving a source at Y and traveling to X would follow the same path shown above, but in reverse.Explanation / Answer
e) since snell's law doesnt depend on direction of light
