- Fiber optic cables use the concept of total internal reflection to keep 100% of the incident light within the cable. Why must the inner core of the cable have a higher index of refraction than the cladding?arrow_forwardLight enters at right angle through one of the catheti of a right-angle isosceles prism which is made of glass with an index of refraction of 1.620. Because the angle of the ray with the normal when entering into the glass is zero, the ray passes straight through and strikes the interior of the hypotenuse of the prism. What is the largest value for the index of refraction of the surrounding medium which would still cause total internal reflection inside the prism?arrow_forwardLight travels from air into a glass block with an angle of incidence in air of 39.0°. The block is then submerged in a liquid and the light now travels from air, through the liquid and into the glass. When the angle of incidence in the liquid is 16.0°, the angle of refraction in the glass is the same as when the light entered the glass from air. Determine the index of refraction of the liquid.arrow_forward
