Geometrical Optics question

2015 · Shift 2 · Q58

JEE AdvancedPhysicsGeometrical OpticsMultiple correct+4 / −2
Light guidance in an optical fibre can be understood by considering a structure comprising of thin solid glass cylinder of refractive index n1 surrounded by a medium of lower refractive index n2. The light guidance in the structure takes place due to successive total internal reflections at the interface of the media n1 and n2 as shown in the figure. All rays with the angle of incidence i less than a particular value im are confined in the medium of refractive index n1. The numerical aperture (NA) of the structure is defined as sin im.
