suppose that the angle of incidence is 1 = 37.1°, the thickness of the pane is 4.17 mm, and the refractive index of the pane is n2 = 1.50. Find the amount (in mm) by which the emergent ray is displaced relative to the incident ray.

Use the formula derived at

but use the appropriate values of the incidence angle, refractive index and the thickness.
