For the optical fiber shown in the figure, find the minimum angle of incidence (0;) that will result in total internal reflection if the refractive index for the cladding (n2) is 1.46 and the refractive index of the core is (A.) n1 = 1.51 and (B.) nị = 1.76.

An experimenter at an optical research company finds it difficult to experiment, as the measuring device that determines the angle φ inside the mirror always interferes with light progression. In this case, it would be good to measure the angle δ outside the mirror. So how does β, the relative angle of reflection with respect to the angle of incidence, relate to the angle δ?

Building contractors often install double-glazed windows to prevent thermal energy (heat) from entering or exiting a building. In addition to being effective insulators, such windows present interesting optical effects. 62.0 mm In the figure, a double-glazed window consists of two identical of glass (ng panes 1.54), each yg thick, separated by an air gap of ya = 49.6 mm.
