Q30 of 84 Page 322

Does the incident and emergent ray coincide in the process of refraction through glass slab? Give reason.

The incident ray and the emergent ray do not coincide they are parallel to each other. The emergent ray is shifted by some distance from the incident ray while passing throught the glass slab which is called the lateral displacement.

The figure below illustrates it.
