Solution

The correct option is D The mass of the glass slab

i) Dependence on the thickness of the medium:
More the thickness of the medium, more is the lateral displacement.

ii) Dependence on the angle of incidence:
More the angle of incidence, more is the lateral displacement.

iii) Dependence on the refractive index:
More the refractive index of the medium, more is the lateral displacement.

iv) Dependence on the mass of the glass slab:
Lateral displacement depends on optical density, that does not depend on mass.
