In general, the index of refraction may vary with depth; this can be treated by considering the medium as a sequence of thin layers. a) Starting from Snell’s law obtain a relation between dθ/dz and dn/dz . [Hint: Choose a thin layer going from z to z dz + and write n andθ in terms of z and z dz + , then apply Snell’s law to either side of the layer. ] b) Apply this result to an electromagnetic...
