A light ray in the core (n=1.40) of a cylindrical optical fiber is incident on the cladding. A ray is transmitted through the cladding (n= 1.20) and into the air. The emerging ray makes an angle 02 = 6.10° with the outside surface of the cladding. What angle 01 did the ray in the core make with the axis? Air
A beam of light is incident from a liquid on the surface of transparent solid. The angle of incidence is 30°and the angle of refraction is 18°.
