> When a ray of light travels through a glass slab from air, it bends towards the normal and when it comes out of the other side of the glass slab, it bends away from the normal.
> It is found that the incident ray and the emergent ray are not along the same straight line, but the emergent ray seems to be displaced with respect to the incident ray.
> This shift in the emergent ray with respect to the incident ray is called lateral shift or lateral displacement.
> The incident and the emergent rays, however, remain parallel.
