Two light beams fall on a transparent material block at point 1 and 2 with angle \( \theta_1 \) and \( \theta_2 \), respectively, as shown in the figure. After refraction, the beams intersect at point 3 which is exactly on the interface at the other end of the block. Given: the distance between 1 and 2, \( d = \frac{4}{3} \) cm and \( \theta_1 = \theta_2 = \cos^{-1} \left( \frac{n_2}{2n_1} \right) \), where \( n_2 \) is the refractive index of the block and \( n_1 \) is the refractive index of the outside medium, then the thickness of the block is …….. cm.

Distance between Two Points
The distance between any two points is the length or distance of the line segment joining the points. There is only one line that is passing through two points. So, the distance between two points can be obtained by detecting the length of this line segment joining these two points. The distance between two points using the given coordinates can be obtained by applying the distance formula.
