Question

what is lateral displacement????​

Answer 1

Answer:

lateral displacement is the perpendicular shift in the angle of incidence when light enters in another medium and then returns to its original medium.

i hope it will help u

What is lateral displacement????​

$\bf\purple{AnsweR:-}$

• When the perpendicular distance between the original path traced by an incident ray and the path traced by the emergent ray coming out from the glass slab is known as lateral displacement.

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

The Formula to find lateral displacement is,

$:\implies\bf\dfrac{tsin(i-r)}{cosr}}$

Where,

• x is the lateral displacement

• t is the thickness of the glass slab

• i is the angle of an incident ray

• r is the angle of refraction
