$A$ ray of light is incident on a parallel slab of thickness $t$ and refractive index $n$. If the angle of incidence $\theta$ is small,then the lateral displacement between the incident and emergent ray will be:

  • A
    $\frac{t \theta (n-1)}{n}$
  • B
    $\frac{t \theta}{n}$
  • C
    $\frac{t \theta n}{n-1}$
  • D
    None of these

$A$ glass beaker is filled with water up to $5 \,cm$. It is kept on top of a $2 \,cm$ thick glass slab. When a coin at the bottom of the glass slab is viewed at normal incidence from above the beaker,its apparent depth from the water surface is $d \,cm$. The value of $d$ is close to ........ $cm$ (the refractive indices of water and glass are $1.33$ and $1.5$,respectively).
