The figure shows a surface XY separating two transparent media, medium-1 and medium-2. The lines \( a b \) and cd represent wavefronts of a light wave traveling in medium-1 and incident on \( \mathrm{XY} \). The lines ef
\( P \) and gh represent wavefronts of the light wave in medium- 2 after refraction.
W
The phases of the light wave at \( \mathrm{c}, \mathrm{d}, \mathrm{e} \) and f are \( \phi_{\mathrm{c}}, \phi_{\mathrm{d}}, \phi_{\mathrm{e}} \) and \( \phi_{\mathrm{f}} \) respectively. It is given that \( \phi_{\mathrm{c}} \neq \phi_{\mathrm{f}} \).
(A) \( \phi_{\mathrm{c}} \) cannot be equal to \( \phi_{\mathrm{d}} \)
(B) \( \phi_{\mathrm{d}} \) can be equal to \( \phi_{\mathrm{e}} \)
(C) \( \left(\phi_{\mathrm{d}}-\phi_{\mathrm{f}}\right) \) is equal to \( \left(\phi_{\mathrm{c}}-\phi_{\mathrm{e}}\right) \)
(D) \( \left(\phi_{\mathrm{d}}-\phi_{\mathrm{c}}\right) \) is not equal to \( \left(\phi_{\mathrm{f}}-\phi_{\mathrm{e}}\right) \)
