Question

Give two factors affecting lateral inversion? And explain them briefly.

Answer 1

Answer:

Following are the factors which affect the lateral inversion:-

1. The thickness of the glass slab.
2. Refractive Index of the glass slab.
3. The angle at which incident ray enters the glass slab.

Explanation:

Following is the formula of lateral inversion:-

\(x = \frac{tsin(i-r)}{cosr}\)

Where, • x is the lateral inversion.

• t is the thickness of glass slab.

• i is the angle of an incident ray.

• r is the angle of refraction.
