A ray of light strikes a glass slab (R.l. = mu ) of finite thickness t. The emerging light is

A ray of light is incident on a parallel slab of thickness t and refractive index n. If the angle of incidence theta is small, than the lateral displacement in the incident and emergent ray will be

A single ray traverses a glass plate (thickness = t) with plane surfaces that are parallel to each other. The emergent ray is parallel to the incident ray but suffers a lateral displacement d. Assuming that glass plate (refractive index mu ) is placed in air, find the dependence of d on angle of incidence i. Plot the variation of d with i (changing from 0° to 90° )

Light passes through a glass slab with parallel sides and thickness t. If i and r the angles of incidence of refraction, the lateral displacement is

A light ray passes from air to denser medium of certain thickness and emerges on the other side. If emergent ray is parallel to the incident ray, the distance travelly by the ray of light in the denser medium is 6 cm, and the angle of incidence and refraction are 60^(@) and 30^(@) , respectively, find the lateral displacement of the light ray.
