Question

A right-angled prism of refractive index µ₁ is placed in a rectangular block of refractive index µ₂, which is surrounded by a medium of refractive index µ₃, as shown in the figure. A ray of light 'e' enters the rectangular block at normal incidence. Depending upon the relationships between µ₁, µ₂ and µ₃ it takes one of the four possible paths 'ef', 'eg', 'eh' or 'ei'.

Match the paths in List I with conditions of refractive indices in List II and select the correct answer using the codes given below the lists :

List - I	List - II
(P) e → f	(1) $µ_{1} > \sqrt{2} µ_{2}$
(Q) e → g	(2) µ₂ > µ₁ and µ₂ > µ₃
(R) e → h	(3) µ₁ = µ₂
(S) e → i	(4) µ₂ < µ₁ < µ₂ and µ₂ > µ₃
