Draw a ray diagram to illustrate how a ray of light incident obliquely on one face of a rectangular glass slab of uniform thickness emerges.

Open in App

Solution

$i$ is the angle of incidence and $e$ is the angle of emergence .
$i = e$ and $r_{1} = r_{2}$

So, the incident ray and the emergent ray are parallel
