D A ray of light strikes a flat block of glass (n=1.58) of thickness D=2.6cm at an angle of 0=50° with the normal. Trace the light beam through the glass, and find the angle of incidence and refraction at each surface and find the lateral shift d it will experience when leaving the block. Find the shifted laterally by the distance d. State your answer in centimetres to the nearest 0.01cm

D
A ray of light strikes a flat block of glass (n-1.58) of thickness D=D2.6cm at an angle of
0=50° with the normal. Trace the light beam through the glass, and find the angle of
incidence and refraction at each surface and find the lateral shift d it will experience
when leaving the block.
Find the shifted laterally by the distance d. State your answer in centimetres to the
nearest 0.01cm
