JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 9. Ray optics and optical instruments
In figure, the optical fiber is \(I = 2\,m\) long and has a diameter of \(d = 20\,\mu \,m\). If a ray of light is incident on one end of the fiber at angle \({\theta _1} = {40^o}\) , the number of reflection it makes before emerging from the other end is close to

- A \(57000\)
- B \(45000\)
- C \(66000\)
- D None of these
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(57000\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
If we approximate the angle \(\theta_{2}\) as \(30^o\) initially then answer will be closer to \(57000\). but if we solve thoroughly, answer will be close to \(55000\) . So both the answers must be awarded. Detailed solution as following. Exact solution By Snell's law…
