Question

What happens to the lateral shift produced by a rectangular glass slab when it is conducted inside
water?

​

Answer 1

Solution:

Magnitude of the lateral shift decreases when glass slab is kept inside water.

Explanation:

lateral shift is directly proportional to the refractive index of the glass slab wrt the medium in contact with its surfaces at which refraction is occurring.

relative ref. Index of glass in air is greater than that in water .
