Q.

What is the lateral shift of a ray refracted through a parallel sided glass slab of thickness 'h' in terms of the angle of incidence 'i' and angle of refraction 'r', if the glass slab is placed in air medium          [2025]

1 h tan (ir)tan r  
2 h cos (ir)sin r  
3 h  
4 h sin (ir)cos r  

Ans.

(4)

AB = h sec r

BC = h sec r sin (ir)

BC = h sin (ir)cos r
