Fiber optics are an important part of our modern internet. In these fibers, two different glasses are used to confine the light

by total internal reflection at the critical angle for the interface between the core (ncore = 1.482 ) and the cladding (ncladding = 1.44).
Suppose you wanted the largest angle at which total internal reflection occurred to be θmax = 5 degrees. What index of refraction does the cladding need if the core is unchanged?

Answer:

n_cladding = 1.4764

Explanation:

We are told that θ_max = 5 °

Thus;

θ_max + θ_c = 90°

θ_c = 90° - θ_max

θ_c = 90° - 5°

θ_c = 85°

Now, critical angle is given by;

θ_c = sin^(-1) (n_cladding/n_core)

sin θ_c = (n_cladding/n_core)

n_cladding = (n_core) × sin θ_c

Plugging in the relevant values, we have;

n_cladding = 1.482 × sin 85

n_cladding = 1.4764
