Solution

Given data in question

core refractive index of

optical cable

n1=n_1= 1.5

refractive index of cladding

n2=n_2= 1.47

a) critical angle is given by

θc=sin1(n2n1)\theta_c=\sin^{-1}(\frac{n_2}{n_1})

Putting all values

θc=sin1(1.471.5)=78.52°\theta_c=\sin^{-1}(\frac{1.47}{1.5}) =78.52°

b) Numerical aperture is given

N.A=n12n22N. A=\sqrt{n_1^2-n_2^2}

Putting all values

Then we get

N.A=(1.5)2(1.47)2=0.298N. A=\sqrt{(1.5)^2-(1.47)^2}\\=0.298

c) now acceptance angle is given by

N.A=sinθaN. A=\sin\theta_a

Putting NA value and solve this

θa=sin1(0.298)=17.36°\theta _a=\sin^{-1}(0.298) =17.36°
