Question

When a light ray incident normally on a glass slab what is the lateral shift

Answer 1

Answer:

The ray of light is incident on the glass slab the ray get refracted twice and comes out from the other surface as the emergent ray.The emergent ray shows a lateral shift from the original path of the light. When the light is passing through the glass its velocity decreases and when comes out of the glass slab its velocity increases and the light ray traces the same direction in the air.

Hence incident and emergent rays are parallel to each other.

Answer 2

$\large\tt\underline{\red{Answer :-}}$

When a denser medium is kept between two parallel faces inside a rare medium and a ray falls upon one of the two parallel faces reflects into the denser medium and comes out of another surface becoming parallel to the incident ray.

In the successive reflection the deviation at first surface is reversed at second surface but the emergent ray deviates literally.

The distance to what an emergent Ray devited from the direction of incident ray when suffers refraction at two parallel surfaces is called as lateral deviation/ displacement.

The lateral displacement/deviation increase with the increase in

• thickness

• angle of incident

• optical density
