The figure shows a transparent slab of length $1 \, m$ placed in air,whose refractive index in the $x$-direction varies as $\mu = 1 + x^2$ for $0 \leq x \leq 1$. The optical path length of ray $R$ will be:

  • A
    $1 \, m$
  • B
    $\frac{2}{3} \, m$
  • C
    $\frac{4}{3} \, m$
  • D

Two transparent slabs have the same thickness as shown. One is made of material $A$ of refractive index $1.5$. The other is made of two materials $B$ and $C$ with thickness in the ratio $1 : 2$. The refractive index of $C$ is $1.6$. If a monochromatic parallel beam passing through the slabs has the same number of waves inside both,the refractive index of $B$ is
