JEE Advanced 2023 Physics question on Wave Optics

A monochromatic light wave is incident normally on a glass slab of thickness dd, as shown in the figure. The refractive index of the slab increases linearly from n1n_1 to n2n_2 over the height hh. Which of the following statement(s) is(are) true about the light wave emerging out of the slab?
  1. A.
    It will deflect up by an angle tan⁡−1[(n22−n12)d2h]\tan^{-1}\left[\dfrac{(n_2^2 - n_1^2)d}{2h}\right].
  2. B.
    It will deflect up by an angle tan⁡−1[(n2−n1)dh]\tan^{-1}\left[\dfrac{(n_2 - n_1)d}{h}\right].
  3. C.
    It will not deflect.
  4. D.
    The deflection angle depends only on (n2−n1)(n_2 - n_1) and not on the individual values of n1n_1 and n2n_2.
