Homework Statement
I need to derive an expression for the displacement of light as a function of thickness of glass and the angles.
I will post a screen shot of the formula to be derived but it can also be found here

Homework Equations
The equation is given as the solution. I am not very good with geometry so I don't really even know where to begin.
The Attempt at a Solution
Using Snell's law,
n1sinθ1=n2sinθ2
Solving for θ2 = Arcsin[(n1/n2)sinθ1]
So then I just have θ2.
Help, please?
