Question

What is understood by lateral displacement? State two factors on which it depends.

Answer 1

The perpendicular distance between the original path of incident ray and emergent ray coming out of glass slab is called as Lateral Displacement.

Lateral displacement depends upon:
---> Thickness of glass slab

----> Incidence angle

---> Refractive index of glass slab.

Answer 2

The perpendicular distance between the original path of incident ray and emergent ray coming out of glass slab is called as Lateral Displacement.
