Which of the following is used in optical fibres?

$A$ spider and a fly are on opposite sides of the surface of a glass sphere. What is the maximum solid angle $\Omega$ within which the fly can be seen by the spider?
Given: The dimensions of the spider and the fly are very small with respect to the sphere. The refractive index of the glass is $\mu_g = \sqrt{2}$.

$A$ rod of glass $(\mu = 1.5)$ with a square cross-section is bent into the shape shown in the figure. $A$ parallel beam of light falls on the plane flat surface $A$ as shown. If $d$ is the width of a side and $R$ is the radius of the inner circular arc,what is the maximum value of $\frac{d}{R}$ such that the light entering the glass slab through surface $A$ emerges from the glass through $B$?

Brilliance of diamond is due to

$A$ girl looks through a circular glass slab (refractive index $1.5$) of thickness $20 \,mm$ and diameter $60 \,cm$ to the bottom of a swimming pool. The refractive index of water is $1.33$ (or $4/3$). The bottom surface of the slab is in contact with the water surface. The depth of the swimming pool is $6 \,m$. The area of the bottom of the swimming pool that can be seen through the slab is approximately ..............$m^2$.

The critical angle for a medium is $60^o$. The refractive index of the medium is:
