$A$ beam of light is converging towards a point $I$ on a screen. $A$ plane glass plate of thickness $t$ and refractive index $\mu$ is introduced in the path of the beam. The convergence point is shifted by:

  • A
    $t \left( 1 - \frac{1}{\mu} \right)$ away
  • B
    $t \left( 1 + \frac{1}{\mu} \right)$ away
  • C
    $t \left( 1 - \frac{1}{\mu} \right)$ nearer
  • D
    $t \left( 1 + \frac{1}{\mu} \right)$ nearer
