- Question 1 A light propagates inside a single step index fiber with a speed of 2.0013 × 108?/? and has a total internal reflection. Note that, the light emitted from a laser source and with an acceptance angle of 5.4370 , the ray strikes the interface between the air and the core of the optical fiber, thus a refraction and reflection occurred. i.
