A ray of light is incident from air on a glass plate having thickness \(\sqrt{3} \,cm\) and refractive index \(\sqrt{2}\). The angle of incidence of a ray is equal to the critical angle for glass-air interface. The lateral displacement of the ray when it passes through the plate is \(.......\times 10^{-2}\) (given \(\sin 15^{\circ}=0.26\) )

Pick an option to check your answer.

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(52\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\sin c=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\)

\(c=45^{\circ}\)

\(\sin c=\mu \sin \theta\)

\(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}=\sqrt{2} \sin \theta\)

\(\theta=30^{\circ}\)

Lateral displacement:

\(x=t \sin (i-r) \sec r\)

\(x=\sqrt{3} \sin \left(45^{\circ}-30^{\circ}\right) \sec 30^{\circ}\)

\(x=\sqrt{3}(0.26)\left(\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}\right)\)

\(X=0.52\,cm\)

\(x=52 \times 10^{-2}\,cm\)
