Question

A ray of light strikes a glass slab 5 cm thick, making an angle of incidence equal to 30. Construct the ray diagram showing showing the emergent ray and the refracted ray through the glass block. The refractive index of glass is 1.5. Also, measure the lateral displacement of the ray. Take sin19.5=1/3.

Solution
Verified by Toppr

Refractive index (n) = 1.5,
angle of incidence (i) - 30
By Snell's law, sinisinr=n
sinr=sinin=sin301.5=1/21.5=13
r=19.5 (since sin 19.5=13)
By measurement, on proper scale lateral displacement = 1 cm nearly.
