Physics Question on Ray optics and optical instruments

A ray of light is incident from air on a glass plate having thickness 3cm\sqrt{3} cm and refractive index 2\sqrt{2} The angle of incidence of a ray is equal to the critical angle for glass-air interface The lateral displacement of the ray when it passes through the plate is ___×102cm\times 10^{-2} cm (given sin15=026\sin 15^{\circ}=026 )

Answer

A ray of light is incident from air on a glass plate having thickness √3cm and refractive index √2.
The correct answer is 52×102cm52\times 10^{-2} cm
