Question

A ray of light travelling in air is incident at angle of incidence, i90o on a long rectangular slab of a transparent medium of thickness y0. The medium has a variable refraction index of μ(x)=1+e2x/a x 0, where a is a positive constant. If y0=a2, then x coordinates of the point where the ray intersects the upper surface of the slab-air boundary is a ln (N). Find the value of N . ​​​​​​​
