Problem

A light beam with two monochromatic components X and Y passes into a glass block and splits into two monochromatic beams when it comes out of the glass block. If the frequency of component X is smaller than that of Y, which of the following ray diagrams is correct? [Figure: Shows four different ray diagrams labeled a), b), c), d) with glass block and light paths for components X and Y]
