What prevents lateral displacement of the patella?

The lateral femoral condyle discourages lateral displacement of the patella. This condyle is the knob of the thighbone on the lateral side.


How can the lateral displacement of the emergent ray with respect to incident ray in glass slab be increased?

Lateral displacement increases if the: 1. Angle of incidence is increased. 2. Refractive index is increased 3. Thickness of the medium( i.e. here in your case the glass block) is increased.


How is the formula for finding the lateral area of a cylinder like the formula for finding the area of a rectangle?

L.A.= 2*pi*radius*height its not like finding the area of a rectangle. a cylinder is a 3-D shape and a rectangle is a flat shape


Why emergent parallel incident ray in a glass slab?

This is because the amount of refraction taking place at the parallel faces of a glass slab is equal but opposite and since the faces are parallel the emergent ray emerges parallel to the incident ray with lateral displacement.


How to derive lateral shifting formula?

When a ray of light from a medium is incident on another medium with different optical density, the ray bends due to refraction. The perpendicular distance between the emergent ray and the incident ray is called the lateral shift. The angle which the incident ray makes with the normal is called angle of incidence denoted by 'i' and the angle made by the refracted ray with the normal is called the angle of refraction denoted by 'r'. Lateral shift is given by the formula:- Where t is the thickness of the glass slab, i is the angle of incidence and r is the angle of refraction


How does lateral displacement change with the width of a glass slab?

, this is ojashwin mishra---- lateral displacement increases with the increase in thickness of the medium. it doesnt have any relation with the width of the glass slab


What is glass slab?

it is a substance made of glass having 3 dimensions and is cuboid shaped. It does not deviate the light. This means that the incident and the emergent ray are parallel. The slab only produces lateral (sideways) shift or displacement.


What is the formula for finding the area of a quadrangular prism?

A = 2AB + AL AB = area of the base AL = lateral area = Perimeter X height


Which pair of ligaments prevent lateral and medial displacement at the knee?

Collateral


Is there a relationship between lateral displacement and the emergent ray?

the thickness of the glass block


What is the formula for lateral area?

It depends very much on what the lateral area is of.


What angle has the same horizontal displacment as 20 degrees?

20 degrees is a measure of angular displacement. This cannot be converted to lateral (horizontal) displacement.
