Which of the following describes the 'Lateral Displacement' of light?
ABending of light in a prism
BPerpendicular distance between incident and emergent ray in a slab
CScattering of light by dust
DFormation of rainbow
✓ Correct Answer: B — Perpendicular distance between incident and emergent ray in a slab
