Question

Define lateral displacement .write the factors on which it depends

Answer 1

Explanation:

Following are the factors on which lateral displacement depends: The thickness of the glass slab. Refractive index of the glass slab. The angle at which incident ray enters the glass slab.

Answer 2

Answer:

Lateral displacement is the apparent shift of light rays which are incident on a refracting medium such as prism or glass slab

When incident normally, the lateral displacement is given by d =t(1-1/ñ)

Where t is thickness of glass slab and ñ is RI of slab material

If not incident normally, it also depends on the angle of incidence besides thickness and RI of refracting material used.
