A ray of light AO in vacuum is incident on a glass slab at angle 60° and refracted at angle 30° along OB as shown in the figure. The optical path length of light ray from A to B is: JEE Main 2019 (Online) 10th April Morning Slot Physics - Geometrical Optics Question 161 English

Multiple Choice Options

  • A 2a + 2b/ 3\sqrt 3
  • B 2a + 2b/3
  • C 2a + 2b
  • D 2 3\sqrt3 /a + 2b

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

From Snell’s law
1 sin 60° = μ\mu sin 30°

⇒\Rightarrow μ\mu = 3\sqrt 3

Optical path = AO + μ\mu (OB)

= acos⁡60o+3bcos⁡30o{a \over {\cos {{60}^o}}} + \sqrt 3 {b \over {\cos {{30}^o}}}

= 2a + 2b
