Consider a configuration of identical units, each consisting of three layers. The first layer is a column of air of height , and the second and third layers are of equal thickness , and refractive indices and , respectively. A light source 0 is placed on the top of the first unit, as shown in the figure. A ray of light from 0 is incident on the second layer of the first unit at an angle of to the normal. For a specific value of , the ray of light emerges from the bottom of the configuration at a distance , as shown in the figure. The value of is .
