The optical properties of a medium are governed by the relative permitivity $({ \in _r})$ and relative permeability $(\mu _r)$. The refractive index is defined as $n = \sqrt {{ \in _r}{\mu _r}} $. For ordinary material ${ \in _r} > 0$ and $\mu _r> 0$ and the positive sign is taken for the square root. In $1964$, a Russian scientist V. Veselago postulated the existence of material with $\in _r < 0$ and $u_r < 0$. Since then such 'metamaterials' have been produced in the laboratories and their optical properties studied. For such materials $n =  - \sqrt {{ \in _r}{\mu _r}} $. As light enters a medium of such refractive index the phases travel away from the direction of propagation.

$(i) $ According to the description above show that if rays of light enter such a medium from air (refractive index $=1)$  at an angle $\theta $ in $2^{nd}$ quadrant, then the refracted beam is in the $3^{rd}$ quadrant.

$(ii)$ Prove that Snell's law holds for such a medium.
