Question: Answered & Verified by Expert
An infinitely long cylinder of radius R is made of an unusual exotic material with refractive index –1 (Fig. 9.7). The cylinder is placed between two planes whose normals are along the y direction. The center of the cylinder O lies along the y-axis. A narrow laser beam is directed along the y direction from the lower plate. The laser source is at a horizontal distance x from the diameter in the y direction. Find the range of x such that light emitted from the lower plane does not reach the upper plane.
