A beam of light is converging towards a point `I` on a screen. A plane glass plate whose thickness in the direction of the beam `=t` , refractive index `=mu` , is introduced in the path of the beam. The convergence point is shifted by

A

`t(1-(1)/(mu))` away

B

`t(1+(1)/(mu))` away

C

`t(1-(1)/(mu))` nearer

D

`t(1+(1)/(mu))` nearer

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Normal
shift `Deltax=(1-(1)/(mu))t` and shift takes place in direction of ray.
