[KCET 2002]
Options:
A)
B)
C)
D)
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
In double refraction light rays always splits into two rays (O-ray & E-ray). O-ray has same velocity in all direction but E-ray has different velocity in different direction. For calcite me < m0
Therefore ve > v0 For quartz me > m0
Therefore v0 > ve
