Pick out the wrong statement from the following

  1. A Lateral shift increases as the angle of incidence increases
  2. B Lateral shift increases as the value of refractive index increases
  3. C Normal shift decreases as the value of refractive index increases
  4. D Both normal shift and lateral shift are directly proportional to the thickness of the medium
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) Lateral shift increases as the value of refractive index increases

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The lateral shift, \(L_{s}=\frac{t[\sin (i-p)]}{\cos r}\) and normal shift, \(L_{N}=t\left(1-\frac{1}{\mu}\right)\)
