Fermats principle states that a light rays path is such that the time to traverse that path
Question:
Fermat’s principle states that a light ray’s path is such that the time to traverse that path is an extremum (a minimum or a maximum) when compared with times for nearby paths. Show that Fermat’s principle implies Snell’s law by proving that a light ray going from point A in one medium to point B in a second medium will take the least time if it obeys Snell’s law.
