Question

Lateral shift produced by a glass slab is X. When the slab is immersed in a liquid, for the same incident ray lateral shift produced will be (A) X  (B) Greater than X (C) Less than X (D) Zero

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Lateral shift is given by, X = (t sin(i -r)/ cos r) = (t sin δ / cos r) When glass is placed in liquid and the same incident ray is used then lateral shift will be greater than X because angle of deviation (δ ) increases.

Q. Lateral shift produced by a glass slab is X. When the slab is immersed in a liquid, for the same incident ray lateral shift produced will be

$X$

Greater than $X$

Less than $X$

Zero

Lateral shift is given by,
$X = \frac{t s i n ( i - r )}{c o s r} = \frac{t s i n δ}{c o s r}$
When glass is placed in liquid and the same incident ray is used then lateral shift will be greater than $X$ because angle of deviation $(δ)$ increases.

Lateral shift is given by, X=cosrtsin(i−r)​=cosrtsinδ​ When glass is placed in liquid and the same incident ray is used then lateral shift will be greater than X because angle of deviation (δ) increases.
