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.
$\alpha$

Since rays after passing through the glass slab just suffer lateral
displacement hence we have angle between the emergent rays as $\alpha$.
