In the given figure, rays incident on an interface would converge 10 cm below the interface if they continued to move in straight lines without bending. But due to refraction, the rays will bend and meet some where else. Find the distance of meeting point of refracted rays below the interface, assuming that the rays to be making small angles with the normal to the interface.
