Calculate the critical angle for total internal reflection in a fiber-optic cable made from quartz glass with a coating of polyethylene.

What will be an ideal response?


If the incident angle of the light from normal in the core is ?1 then if the angle from normal in the coating is 90 degrees the light will not enter the coating, rather the light will reflect back into the quartz glass at the angle ?1.
