Given:
n1=1.5

n2=1.47

To Find:

1) Critical angle (Өc)

2) Numerical aperture (N.A)

3) Acceptance angle (Өa)

Solution:

  • θc=sin1(n2n1)=sin1(1.471.5)

  • θc=78.52°

Critical  angle(θc)=78.52°

  • N.A = \sqrt{n_1^2-n_2^2 }

  • =\sqrt{1.5^2-1.47^2 }

  • N.A= 0.2984

\boxed{Numerical\ \ aperture \ \ (N.A) =0.2984}

  • N.A = sin …
