Question
An endoscope silica fibre
efficiently contains all central light
rays that subtend an angle greater
than 0, = 42.00° as measured
relative to the normal of the side
surface of a silica-based fibre
(labelled as 0, in the following
diagram). What is the refractive
index of the fibre? Take the optical
fibre to be a solid cylinder residing
in air.
The following diagram shows a
central light ray. The ray passes
through the axis of symmetry of
the optical fibre.
