Identify the True or False statements.
a. A glass slab cannot deviate the light.
b. A glass slab can produce lateral displacement.
c. The shift produced by a slab depends ono the converging and diverging nature of beam.
d. Apparent shift in case of a slab always occurs in the direction of light ray travelling.
e. The shift produced by a slab can never exceed its thickness.

AI Generated Solution

To solve the question, we need to evaluate each statement regarding the properties of a glass slab and determine whether they are true or false. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Statement A: A glass slab cannot deviate the light.** - A glass slab does not change the direction of the light rays in terms of deviation; it only causes a lateral shift. Therefore, this statement is **True**. 2. **Statement B: A glass slab can produce lateral displacement.** ...
