The frequency of a wave determines the degree of vibration. It is determined by its frequency and wavelength, speed and its phase angle. The term “phase shift” is defined by the shift in the direction of the wave just. Thus it is only a change in the phase angle is what causes the phase shift.
Part A: The refracted Ray has no phase shift, so all choices should be (0).
Part B: It doesn’t matter which one of the indices N1 or N2 is greater. If N2 is greater than N1, the phase shift in reflected rays is greater. The numbers given in the previous answer are 2, 3, 4, and 5. They are equally larger than 1 and 6.
