Pick out the wrong statement from the following
Options
- ALateral shift increases as the angle of incidence increases
- BLateral shift increases as the value of refractive index increases
- CNormal shift decreases as the value of refractive index increases
- DBoth normal shift and lateral shift are directly proportional to the thickness of the medium
Correct answer
B. Lateral shift increases as the value of refractive index increases
Step-by-step solution
The lateral shift, L_ s = t[ (i-p)] r and normal shift, L_ N =t (1- 1 )
