a. Laser light comes in to a rectangular block of thick (12 cm) glass with an incident angle (relative to normal) of 25 degrees. What angle does the light have inside and as it leaves the block, and by what distance (in cm) does it seem displaced compared to where the laser beam would be with not glass ? b If instead of laser light you were viewing an object or bug on the other side of the block, how would you perceive its location compared to its actual location.

b.) If instead of laser the bug being the object through which light is refracting through the glass slab, the shift in position of the bug would have been AA' instead of A'B. Thus, the shift in position of the image formed in case of bug is 4 cm.
