Question

Determine the maximum angle $\theta$ for which the light rays incident on the end of the pipe in Figure $\mathrm{P} 35.36$ are subject to total internal reflection along the walls of the pipe. Assume the pipe has an index of refraction of 1.36 and the outside medium is air. Your answer defines the size of the cone of acceptance for the light pipe.

Step 1

Step 1: Identify the relevant concept: Total internal reflection occurs when light travels from a medium with a higher index of refraction to a medium with a lower index of refraction, and the angle of incidence is greater than the critical angle. Show more…
