HARD
A planar structure of length L and width W is made of two different optical media of refractive indices n1=1.5 and n2=1.44 as shown in figure. If LW, a ray entering from end AB will emerge from end CD only if the total internal reflection condition is met inside the structure. For L=9.6 m, if the incident angle θ is varied, the maximum time taken by a ray to exit the plane CD is t×10-9s, where t is ____.

In an optical fibre, the propagation of light occurs due to which phenomenon? Write answer only.

HARD

Light guidance in an optical fiber can be understood by considering a structure comprising of thin solid glass cylinder of refractive index n1 surrounded by a medium of lower refractive index n2. The light guidance in the structure takes place due to successive total internal reflections at the interface of the media n1 and n2 as shown in the figure. All rays with the angle of incidence i less than a particular value im are confined in the medium of refractive index n1 . The numerical aperture (NA) of the structure is defined as sinim.
