HEY BUDDY.
Lateral displacement is the perpendicular distance between the incident ray and emergent ray.

It gives the deviation between the incident and emergent ray of light when it gets refracted through a glass slab.
Observe the given figure:
In the figure, the distance BC is called the lateral displacement.
The value of BC can be proved to be
BC=tcos(r)sin(i−r)
From the above expression, one can conclude that the lateral displacement is dependent on
(1) Thickness of the glass slab
(2) Angle of incidence
(3) Refractive index of the glass slab.
