Problem

Two identical glass rods S1S_1 and S2S_2 (refractive index =1.5=1.5) have one convex end of radius of curvature 10 cm10\,\mathrm{cm}. They are placed with the curved surfaces at a distance dd as shown in the figure, with their axes (shown by the dashed line) aligned. When a point source of light PP is placed inside rod S1S_1 on its axis at a distance of 50 cm50\,\mathrm{cm} from the curved face, the light rays emanating from it are found to be parallel to the axis inside S2S_2. The distance dd is:
