Question
A long rectangular slab of transparent medium is placed on a horizontal table with its length parallel to the x-axis and width parallel to the y-axis as shown in the figure. A ray of light travelling in air makes a normal incidence on the slab. The refractive index m of the medium varies as 
- The incident ray travels in parabolically inside the slab
- The incident ray travels in hyperbolic path inside the slab
- The incident ray travels in circular path inside the slab
- The incident ray travels in elliptical path inside the slab
The correct answer is: The incident ray travels in circular path inside the slab
