To find the lateral shift of a light ray passing through a parallel glass slab, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Geometry We have a glass slab of thickness \( t = 10 \, \text{cm} \). The angle of incidence in air is \( \theta_1 = 60^\circ \) and the angle of refraction in glass is \( \theta_2 = 45^\circ \). The emergent ray will be parallel to the incident ray. ### Step 2: Calculate the Angle of Emergence Since the slab is parallel, the angle of emergence will be equal to the angle of incidence, which is \( \theta_1 = 60^\circ \). ...
