In the figure below,$PQRS$ denotes the path followed by a ray of light as it travels through three media in succession. The absolute refractive indices of the media are $\mu_1, \mu_2$ and $\mu_3$,respectively. (The line segment $RS$ in the figure is parallel to $PQ$). Then,

  • A
    $\mu_1 > \mu_2 > \mu_3$
  • B
    $\mu_1 = \mu_3 < \mu_2$
  • C
    $\mu_1 < \mu_2 < \mu_3$
  • D
    $\mu_1 < \mu_3 < \mu_2$
