There is a spherical glass ball of refractive index `mu_(1)` and another glass ball of refractive index `mu_(2)` inside as shown in figure . The radius of the outer ball is `R_(1)` and that of inner ball is `R_(2)`. A ray is incident on outer surface of the ball at an angle `i_(1)`,

Find the value of `i_(2)`

A

`sin^(-1)((R_(2))/(R_(1)) ("sin"i_(1))/(mu_(1)))`

B

`sin^(-1)((R_(1))/(R_(2)) ("sin"i_(1))/(mu_(2)))`

C

`sin^(-1)((R_(1))/(R_(2)) ("sin"i_(1))/(mu_(1)))`

D

`sin^(-1)((R_(2))/(R_(1)) ("sin"i_(1))/(mu_(2)))`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

Using sine rule `("sin"r_(1))/(R_(2)) = ("sin"(180-i_(2)))/(R_(1)) implies "sin" i_(2) = (R_(1))/(R_(2)) "sin"r_(1) = ((R_(1))/(R_(2))("sin"i_(1))/(mu_(1))) implies i_(2) = sin^(-1)((R_(1))/(R_(2)) ("sin"i_(1))/(mu_(1)))`

Light guidance in an optical fiber can be understood by considering a structure comprising of thin solid glass cylinder of refractive index n_(1) surrounded by a medium of lower refractive index n_(2) . The light guidance in the structure takes place due to successive total internal reflections at the interface of the media n_(1) and n_(2) as shown in the figure . all rays with the angle of incidence i less than a particular value of i_(m) are confined in the medium of refractive index n_(1) . The numerical aperture (NA) of the structure is defined as "sin"i_(m) For two structures namely S_(1) with n_(1) = sqrt(45) //4 "and" n_(2) = 3//2 , "and" S_(2) with n_(1) = 8//5 "and" n_(2) = 7//5 and taking the refractive index of water to be 4/3 and that of air to be 1 , the correct option (s) is (are)
