Chapter 34, Problem 31P
An optical fiber has an index of refraction n and diameter d. It is surrounded by vacuum. Light is sent into the fiber along its axis as shown in Figure P34.31. (a) Find the smallest outside radius Rmin permitted for a bend in the fiber if no light is to escape. (b) What If? What result does part (a) predict as d approaches zero? Is this behavior reasonable? Explain. (c) As n increases? (d) As n approaches 1? (c) Evaluate Rmin assuming the fiber diameter is 100 μm and its index of refraction is 1.40.

A beam of light enters a flint glass semicircular disk with an index of refraction of ng = 1.66 at the midpoint of the flat side as shown in the figure. Determine the angle of incidence in air such that the refracted light will travel through the glass along a normal to the semicircular surface and hit a projection screen with the coordinates x = 5.50 cm and y = 18.1 cm.

The drawing shows a crystalline slab (refractive index 1.360) with a rectangular cross section. A ray of light strikes the slab at an incident angle of θ1= 30.0°, enters the slab, and travels to point P. This slab is surrounded by a fluid with a refractive index n. What is the maximum value of n such that total internal reflection occurs at point P?
