the denominator of the formula includes cosine of angle of refraction. If angle of refraction is 90 degrees then the denominator becomes zero and the lateral shift becomes infinity. Now the Question is when will the angle of refraction be 90 degrees? When light travels from denser medium to rarer medium, incidence is at critical angle then your question is possible.
Now, the above argument is for the lateral shift that cannot be determined.
When the angle of incidence is at 900, then the numerator becomes
'cos r' which is equal to the denominator. Hence L = t following the formula and this is the maximum measurable lateral shift
Hope this satisfies your doubt...

What is the formula for angle of incidence?
The formula for calculating the angle of incidence is: Angle of Incidence = Angle of Reflection. The angle of incidence is the angle between the incident ray and the normal to the surface at the point of incidence.
Does the relationship between the angle of incidence and the angle of reflection change as the angle of incidence increases?
No, the relationship between the angle of incidence and the angle of reflection remains the same regardless of the angle of incidence. This relationship is governed by the law of reflection, which states that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.
What is a sentence for angle of incidence?
I can't find a sentence for the angle of incidence.
What is the angle of incidence to the normal incidence?
The angle of incidence is the angle between the incident ray and the normal (perpendicular line) to the surface. In normal incidence, the incident ray is perpendicular to the surface, so the angle of incidence is 0 degrees.
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.

On what factors does deviation produced by a prism depend?
angle between two edges and angle of incidence how denser the object is
Does the relationship between the angle of incidence and the angle of reflection change as the angle of incidence increases?
No, the relationship between the angle of incidence and the angle of reflection remains the same regardless of the angle of incidence. This relationship is governed by the law of reflection, which states that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.

When is angle of incidence equal to angle of reflection?
The angle of incidence is ALWAYS equal to the angle of reflection! This is one of the laws of reflection.
What is the angle of incidence to the normal incidence?
The angle of incidence is the angle between the incident ray and the normal (perpendicular line) to the surface. In normal incidence, the incident ray is perpendicular to the surface, so the angle of incidence is 0 degrees.
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.
What is the size of the angle of incidence and reflection?
The size of the angle of incidence is equal to the size of the angle of reflection. This is known as the law of reflection, where the angle of incidence is measured between the incident ray and the normal, and the angle of reflection is measured between the reflected ray and the normal.
Is there a relationship between lateral displacement and the emergent ray?
Yes, lateral displacement occurs when a light ray passes through a different medium at an angle. The amount of lateral displacement depends on the refractive indices of the two media and the angle of incidence. The emergent ray is the ray that exits the second medium and its direction is affected by the lateral displacement.
Which angle is the angle of incidence?
The angle of incidence of a ray (or light or other electromagnetic radiation) to a surface is the angle between the incoming ray and the normal - which is perpendicular to the surface at the point of incidence
What is the difference of angle of incidence ad the angle of reflection?
0(zero) Angle of incidence = angle of reflection
