    Two light beams fall on a transparent material block at point 1 and 2 with angle θ1\theta_{1} and θ2\theta_{2}, respectively, as shown in figure. After refraction, the beams intersect at point 3 which is exactly on the interface at other end of the block. Given : the distance between 1 and 2,d=43 cm2,d = 4\sqrt{3}\text{ }cm and θ1=θ2=cos⁡−1(n22n1)\theta_{1}=\theta_{2}=\cos^{- 1}\left( \frac{n_{2}}{2n_{1}} \right), where refractive index of the block n2>n_{2}> refractive index of the outside medium n1n_{1}, then the thickness of the block is_____ cm .
