MCQ
A diverging beam of light from a point source $S $ having divergence angle $\alpha$, falls symmetrically on a glass slab as shown. The angles of incidence of the two extreme rays are equal. If the thickness of the glass slab is $t $ and the refractive index $n$, then the divergence angle of the emergent beam is
  • A
    $Zero$
  • $\alpha$
  • C
    ${\sin ^{ - 1}}(1/n)$
  • D
    $2\,{\sin ^{ - 1}}(1/n)$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$\alpha$
b
(b) Since rays after passing through the glass slab just suffer lateral displacement hence we have angle between the emergent rays as $\alpha$
