- Ty is trying to fabricate a total internal reflection classroom demo using a quartz cylinder, shown below. The cylinder has index of refraction of 1.46. Fatima would like to cut the end of the cylinder at some angle (shown in the figure) so that when light enters normal to the face, it will be totally internally reflected within the cylinder (as shown in the bottom figure). What is the smallest angle that she can make this cut at? (NOTE: the demo is intended to be used in air, i.e., when the quartz cylinder is surrounded by air. Assume the index of refraction in air is 1.00. Why is Fatima going through the trouble of cutting the cylinder? (After all, quartz is not an easy material to cut!) Why not just keep it as it is?
