$A$ ray of light is incident on a surface of a glass slab at an angle of $45^{\circ}$. If the lateral shift produced per unit thickness is $\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$,the angle of refraction produced is

  • A
    $\tan^{-1}\left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)$
  • B
    $\tan^{-1}\left(1-\sqrt{\frac{2}{3}}\right)$
  • C
    $\sin^{-1}\left(1-\sqrt{\frac{2}{3}}\right)$
  • D
    $\tan^{-1}\left(\sqrt{\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}-1}}\right)$
