From the figure given below, the refractive index of medium B with respect to medium A (ₐμᵦ) is:
(a) sin 45° / sin 30°
(b) sin 30° / sin 45°
(c) sin 45° / sin 60°
(d) sin 60° / sin 45°2026When a ray of light passes from a denser to a rarer medium, its wavelength ............... [decreases / increases].2026the angle of incidence is maximum.2026the angle of incidence is minimum.2026the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of emergence.2026What is the product of the ratio
