The correct option.
Answer to Problem 1FC
The correct option is (c)
Explanation of Solution
When a ray of light travels from liquid A to liquid B, the incident ray gets refracted and bends away from the normal in liquid B. Therefore, the refractive index of liquid A is greater than the refractive index of liquid B, that is,
When a ray of light travels from liquid A to liquid C, the incident ray gets refracted and bends towards the normal in liquid C. Therefore, the refractive index of liquid A is less than the refractive index of liquid C, that is,
Hence, the refractive index of C is greater than the refractive indices of A and B, that is,
Conclusion:
Hence, the correct option is (c)
