What is the lateral shift of a ray refracted through a parallel-sided glass slab of thickness $h$ in terms of the angle of incidence $i$ and angle of refraction $r$,if the glass slab is placed in air medium?

  • A
    $\frac{h \tan (i-r)}{\tan r}$
  • B
    $\frac{h \cos (i-r)}{\sin r}$
  • C
    $h$
  • D
    $\frac{h \sin (i-r)}{\cos r}$
