Consider two points A and B in a medium of refractive index n (x, y, z ) and assume that light follows a certain curve C to get from A to B [31][32]. The time taken for the light to complete the path AB is expressed by the curvilinear integral : $t = \int_{A}^{B} \frac{n}{c} d s$

c being the speed of light in a vacuum and s the curvilinear abscissa on curve C.
