(a) Prove that a ray of light sheet of plate glass of thickness t face parallel to its initial direction but displaced sideways, as in Figure

(b) Show that, for small angles of incidence θ, this displacement is given by x = t θ n-1/n, where n is the index of refraction of the glass and θ is measured in radians.
