Answer:
Explanation:
Let i be the angle of incidence and r be the angle of refraction .
From the figure
Tan ( 90 - i ) = 2.5 / 8
cot i = 2.5 / 8
Tan i = 8 / 2.5 = 3.2
i = 72.65°
From snell's law
sini / sin r = refractive index
sin 72.65 / sinr = 1.333
sin r = .9545 / 1.333
= .72
r = 46⁰
From the figure
Tan r = d / 4
Tan 46 = d /4
d = 4 x Tan 46
= 4 x 1.0355
=4.14 m .
