(N/A) When a ray of light passes through a rectangular glass slab,it undergoes refraction at two parallel surfaces. The emergent ray is parallel to the incident ray but is displaced sideways from the original path of the incident ray. This perpendicular distance between the original path of the incident ray and the emergent ray is known as the lateral shift.
