Solution

The correct option is D All of the above
Angle of deviation depends on:
  • Angle of incidence, i: When we change i, lateral shift changes. Note that for thin slabs, this factor is negligible.
  • Thickness of slab: Lateral shift depends on the length of path of travel.
  • Refractive index: Clearly, more the refractive index, more will be the bending on each face and hence, will have larger lateral shift.
