In hexagonal system of crystals, a frequently encountered arrangement of atoms is described as a hexagonal prism. Here, the top and bottom of the cell are regular hexagons and three atoms are sandwiched in between them. A space-filling model of this structure, called hexagonal close-packed (HCP), is constituted of a sphere on a flat surface surrounded in the same plane by six identical spheres as closely as possible. Three spheres are then placed over the first layer so that they touch each other and represent the second layer. Each one of the three spheres touches three spheres of the bottom layer. Finally, the second layer is covered with a third layer that is identical to the bottom layer in relative position. Assume radius of every sphere to be ' \(r\) '.

Light guidance in an optical fiber can be understood by considering a structure comprising of thin solid glass cylinder of refractive index \(n_{1}\) surrounded by a medium of lower refractive index \(n_{2}\). The light guidance in the structure takes place due to successive total internal reflections at the interface of the media \(n_{1}\) and \(n_{2}\) as shown in the figure. All rays with the angle of incidence \(i\) less than a particular value \(i_{m}\) are confined in the medium of refractive index \(n_{1}\).
