An optical fiber made of glass with an index of refraction 1.50 is coated with a plastic with index of refraction 1.30. What is the critical angle of this fiber at the glass-plastic interface? 61.1° 60.1° 90.0° 50.2° 41.8°

Respuesta :

Answer:

option B

Explanation:

Given,

Refractive index of the glass, n₂ = 1.50

Refractive index of plastic, n₁ = 1.30

critical angle = ?

[tex]\theta_{critical}=\sin^{-1} (\dfrac{n_1}{n_2})[/tex]

n₁ is the refractive index of the rare medium

n₂ is the refractive index of the denser medium.

[tex]\theta_{critical}=\sin^{-1} (\dfrac{1.30}{1.50})[/tex]

[tex]\theta_{critical}=\sin^{-1} (0.8667)[/tex]

[tex]\theta_{critical}=60.1^\circ[/tex]

The correct answer is option B
