A diverging beam of light from a point source S having devergence angle `alpha`, falls symmetrically on a glass slab as shown. The angles of incidence of the two extreme rays are equal. If the thickness of the glass slab is t and the refractive index n, then the divergence angle of the emergent beam is

A

zero

B

`alpha`

C

`sin^(-1)1/n`

D

`2sin^(-1)(1/n)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

(b) Since, rays after passing through the glass slab just suffer lateral displacement. So, angle between emergent ray is also `alpha`.
