Assertion : In optical fibre, the diameter of the core is kept small.
Reason : The small diameter of the core ensures that the fibre should have inside it an angle greater than critical angle needed for total internal reflection.

A

If both, Assertion and Reason are true and the Reason is the correct explanation of the Assertion.

B

If both, Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion.

C

If Assertion is true but the Reason is false.

D

If both, Assertion and Reason are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Both, the Assertion and Reason are true and latter explains the former correctly. Total internal reflection of light takes place if angle of incidence is greater than critical angle. So, small diameter ensures that incident light falls at an angle greater than critical angle.

Sparking Brilliance of Diamond: The total internal reflection of the light is used in polishing diamonds to create a sparking brilliance. By polishing the diamond with specific cuts, it is adjusted the most of the light rays approaching the surface are incident with an angle of incidence more than critical angle. Hence, they suffer multiple reflections and ultimately come out of diamond from the top. This gives the diamond a sparking brilliance. A diamond is immersed in a liquid with a refractive index greater than water. Then the critical angle for total internal reflection will

Assertion (A): In case of rainbow, light at the inner surface of the water drop gets internally reflected. Reason (R): The angle between the refracted ray and normal to the drop surface is greater than the critical angle.

Assertion (A) : In case of rainbow, light at the inner surface of the water drop gets internally reflected Reason (R): The angle between the refracted ray and normal to the drop surface is greater than the critical angle.

For an optical fibre ,the ratio of the refractive index of the core to the refractive index of the cladding is 1.25 . What is the critical angle at the core cladding interface ?

Sparking Brilliance of Diamond: The total internal reflection of the light is used in polishing diamonds to create a sparking brilliance. By polishing the diamond with specific cuts, it is adjusted the most of the light rays approaching the surface are incident with an angle of incidence more than critical angle. Hence, they suffer multiple reflections and ultimately come out of diamond from the top. This gives the diamond a sparking brilliance. The critical angle for a diamond is 24.4^@ . Then its refractive index is

By polishing the diamond with specific cuts, it is adjusted the most of the light rays approaching the surface are incident with an angle of incidence more than critical angle. Hence, they suffer multiple reflections and ultimately come out of diamond from the top. This gives the diamond a sparking brilliance. Light cannot easily escape a diamond without multiple internal reflections. This is because:
