$A$ ray of light is incident on a parallel slab of thickness $t$ and refractive index $n$. If the angle of incidence $\theta$ is small,then the lateral displacement between the incident and emergent ray will be:

  • A
    $\frac{t \theta (n-1)}{n}$
  • B
    $\frac{t \theta}{n}$
  • C
    $\frac{t \theta n}{n-1}$
  • D
    None of these
