  • A
    $\theta = 49^\circ$
  • B
    $\theta = 90^\circ$
  • C
    $\theta = 98^\circ$
  • D

In an optical fibre, the core and cladding are made with materials of refractive indices $1.5$ and $1.414$ respectively. To observe total internal reflection, what will be the range of the incident angle with the axis of the optical fibre?

$A$ wide slab consisting of two media of refractive indices $n_1$ and $n_2$ is placed in air as shown in the figure. $A$ ray of light is incident from medium $n_1$ to $n_2$ at an angle $\theta$,where $\sin \theta$ is slightly larger than $1/n_1$. Take the refractive index of air as $1$. Which of the following statement$(s)$ is(are) correct?
$(A)$ The light ray enters air if $n_2 = n_1$
$(B)$ The light ray is finally reflected back into the medium of refractive index $n_1$ if $n_2 < n_1$
$(C)$ The light ray is finally reflected back into the medium of refractive index $n_1$ if $n_2 > n_1$
$(D)$ The light ray is reflected back into the medium of refractive index $n_1$ if $n_2 = 1$

As shown,a narrow beam of light is incident onto a semi-circular glass cylinder of radius $R.$ Light can exit the cylinder when the beam is at the centre. When the beam is moved parallel to a distance $d$ from the central line,no light can exit the cylinder from its lower surface. Find the refractive index of the glass.
