The lateral shift produced by a glass slab during refraction through it, increases with -
(A) the increase in the thickness of the glass slab
(B) the increase in the value of the angle of incidence
(C) the increase in the value of the refractive index of the slab
(D) the increase in the length of the glass slab
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  1. A (A), (B) and (D) only
  2. B (A), (B) and (C) only
  3. C (A), (B), (C) and (D)
  4. D (B), (C) and (D) only
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) (A), (B) and (C) only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The lateral shift \(d\) is given by the formula: \(d = t \frac{\sin(i-r)}{\cos r}\) where \(t\) is the thickness, \(i\) is the angle of incidence, and \(r\) is the angle of refraction. From Snell's Law, \(\sin r = \frac{\sin i}{n}\), where \(n\) is the refractive index. (A)…
