A light ray in the core (n 1.40) of a cylindrical optical fiber is incident on the cladding. A ray is transmitted through the cladding (n 1.20) and into the air. The emerging ray makes an angle 02 = 6.30° with the outside surface of the cladding. What angle 01 did the ray in the core make with the axis?

Light enters a prism of crown glass and refracts at an angle of 5.00 with respect to the normal at the interface. The crown glass has a mean index of refraction of 1.51. It is combined with one flint glass prism (n = 1.65) to produce no net deviation. a. Find the apex angle of the flint glass. b. Assume the index of refraction for violet light (v = 430 nm) is nv = 1.528 and the index of refraction for red light (r = 768 nm) is nr = 1.511 for crown glass. For flint glass using the same wavelengths, nv = 1.665 and nr = 1.645. Find the net dispersion.
