Q. No.On a hot summer night, the refractive index of air is smallest near the ground and increases with height from the ground. When a light beam is directed horizontally, the Huygens' principle leads us to conclude that as it travels, the light beam:
| 1. | becomes narrower |
| 2. | goes horizontally without any deflection |
| 3. | bends downwards |
| 4. | bends upwards |
