Light Ray Passing through a Transparent Plate

A light ray passes from medium 1 with index of refraction (Subscript[n, 1]) through a plate with index of refraction (Subscript[n, 2]) and continues back out again into medium 1. The path depends on the ratio (Subscript[n, 2])/(Subscript[n, 1]), the thickness of the plate d, and the angle of incidence (Subscript[ϕ, 0]).
