PreparedbyCg



Given an incident ray entering the optical fibre,

draw the normal line at the point of incidence.

PreparedbyCg



Light ray is moving

from less optically dense to optically denser medium,

the light ray will bend towards the normal.

If the refractive index of the fibre optic is given,

use a protractor to measure the angle of incidence,

use Snells law to calculate the angle of refraction and

then carefully draw the refracted light ray.

Inside, the refracted ray now hits the boundary

between the two layers of glass.

Draw the normal line again at the point of incidence.

It should be perpendicular to the surface boundary.

Use a protractor to measure the angle of incidence.

If the angle of incidence > critical angle

Total Internal Reflection occurs instead of refraction.

In reflection, angle of incidence = angle of reflection

Use a protractor to carefully measure out the angle of

reflection and construct the reflected light ray.
