Total Internal Reflection
33. Geometric Optics / Total Internal Reflection / Problem 1
Engineers are developing a specialized optical fiber for high-powered laser experiments. The fiber's core is made of chalcogenide glass with a refractive index of 2.40, while its coating is composed of a new glass type with a refractive index of 2.20. Determine the cone of acceptance for this cutting-edge optical fiber, assuming it can be accurately modeled as a cylindrical structure with a flat entrance surface.
