A light ray strikes a 10-cm-thick glass pane, making a 30° angle to the perpendicular to the glass as it enters. When the ray reemerges into air on the other side of the pane, how much has it been displaced from where it would have been if the glass weren't there (this is the distance d indicated in the figure below)?
