Consider slabs of three media $A, B$ and $C$ arranged as shown in the figure. The refractive index $(R.I.)$ of $A$ is $1.5$ and that of $C$ is $1.4$. If the number of waves in $A$ is equal to the number of waves in the combination of $B$ and $C$,then the refractive index of $B$ is:

  • A
    $1.4$
  • B
    $1.5$
  • C
    $1.6$
  • D
    $1.7$
