Assertion `:` In optical fiber, the diameter of the core is kept small.
Reason `:` This smaller diameter of the core ensures that the fiber should have incident angle more than the critical angle required 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 the correct explanation of the assertion.

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If the assertion and reason both are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

For smaller diameter incident angle will be greater than critical angle to cause total internal reflection.

Assertion : In optical fibre, the diameter of the core is kept small. Reason : This smaller diameter of the core ensures that the fibre should have incident angle more than the critical angle required for total internal reflection.

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.

Assertion: in optical fibre, the diameter of the core is kept small. Reason: This smaller diameter fo the fibre should have incident angle more than the critical angle required for total internal reflection.

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 : Optical fibers are used for telecommunication. Reason : Optical fibres are based on the phenomenon of total internal reflection.

The refractive index of the core of an optical fibre is mu_(2) and that of the cladding is mu_(1) .The angle of incidence on the face of the core so that the light ray just under goes total internal reflection at the cladding is
