To solve the problem of finding the deflection of a light beam passing through a plane-parallel glass plate, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Geometry of the Problem A light beam is incident on a plane-parallel glass plate with a thickness \( d = 6.0 \, \text{cm} \) at an angle of incidence \( \theta = 60^\circ \). The light beam will refract as it enters and exits the glass plate. ### Step 2: Apply Snell's Law Using Snell's Law at the air-glass interface: \[ ...
