Q.

A transparent slab of thickness d has a refractive index n(z) that increases with z . Here z is the vertical distance inside the slab, measured from the top. The slab is placed between two media with uniform refractive indices n1 and n2 (> n1), as shown in the figure. A ray of light is incident with angle θi from medium 1 and emerges in medium 2 with refraction angle θf with a lateral displacement l .

Question Image

Since refraction occurs at a set of parallel surfaces,  n1sinθi=n2sinθf
The lateral displacement will depend on how the n(z) varies in the medium . 

Clearly, l does not depend on n.
