A glass optical fiber is used to transport a light ray across a long distance. The fiber has an index of refraction of 1.510 and

is submerged in water, which has an index of refraction of 1.333. What is the critical angle (in degrees) for the light ray to remain inside the fiber

The critical angle (in degrees) for the light ray to remain inside the fiber is 73.13°.

According to snell's law,

n1sinθi = n2sinθr

n1/n2 = sinθr/sinθi

The critical angle is the angle of incidence at the denser medium when the angle of incidence at the less dense medium is 90°.

This means i=C and r = 90°

The Snell's law formula will become

n1/n2 = sinC/sin90°

n2/n1 = 1/sinC

Where n1 is the refractive index of the less dense medium = 1.473

n2 is the refractive index of the denser medium = 1.540

Substituting the values in the formula,

1.540/1.473 = 1/sinC

1.045 = 1/sinC

SinC = 1/1.045

SinC = 0.957

C = sin^-1(0.957)

C = 73.13°

The refractive index of glass is 1.5. It way that the velocity of mild in glass is 1.5 times slower than the rate of mild in a vacuum, the speed of light in glass isn't always unbiased of the shade of mild.

Refractive index is likewise the same as the velocity of light c of a given wavelength in an empty area divided with the aid of its speed v in a substance or n = c/v.

The index of refraction of fabric is a ratio that compares the velocity of light in a vacuum ( c=3.00x108ms ) to the velocity of mild in that precise medium. Because the index of refraction increases, the amount that the material bends the mild increases.
