Calculate the speed of light in a medium whose critical angle is 30° ?
Advertisements
उत्तर
Speed of light in the medium =`\text { Speed of light in air}/ text { Refractive index of the medium with respet to air}`
`=(3 xx 10^8 m/s)/(1/(sin30°)`
`= (3 xx 10^8 m/s)/2`
`=1.5 xx 10^8m/s`

Which of the following statements about total internal reflection is true?
State the condition under which total internal reflection occurs. Give the mathematical expression for total internal reflection.
- Assertion (A): Propagation of light through an optical fibre is due to total internal reflection taking place at the core-cladding interface.
- Reason (R): Refractive index of the material of the cladding of the optical fibre is greater than that of the core.
