1.

When sunlight is incident on water surface at glancing angle of 37 0, the reflected light is found to be
completely plane polarized. Determine the refractive index of water and angle of refraction.
Hint: i=90-37=530 (Ans: 1.327,37 0)

2. If the critical angle for glass air boundary is 38 0, calculate the polarizing angle for glass (Ans: 58.3 0)

3. Find the acceptance angle of a given optical fibre if the relative indices of the core and cladding are
1.563 and 1.458 respectively.(Ans:26.490)

4.The core and cladding of an optical fibre have refractive indices of 1.5 and 1.4 respectively. Calculate
the critical angle for the core-cladding boundary and the acceptance angle. (Ans:69 0, 330)

5.Refractive indices of core and cladding are 1.45 and 1.40 respectively. Calculate numerical aperture
and acceptance angle. (Ans:0.3775, 22.2 0)
