$A$ light ray enters a rectangular glass slab of refractive index $\sqrt{3}$ at an angle of incidence of $60^{\circ}$. It travels a distance of $5 \, cm$ inside the slab and emerges out. What is the perpendicular distance between the incident and emergent ray?

  • A
    $5\sqrt{3} \, cm$
  • B
    $\frac{5}{2} \, cm$
  • C
    $5 \sqrt{\frac{3}{2}} \, cm$
  • D
    $5 \, cm$
