USE OF OPTICAL FIBRE

making transmission cables for carrying information in the form

of light over very long distances;

making endoscopes to examine internal organs or inspect hard-

to-reach places;

making optical-fibre lamps.

when Refractive index increases, deviation of the path from the

dotted line increases,
∴ d increases

keeps the critical angle constant throughout the optical fibre,

regardless of what the fibre travels through;

The beam of white light is refracted towards the normal and

dispersed into a colour spectrum when it enters the block.
enters the block.

The extent of bending for the red light ray is smaller when
compared with the violet light ray.
Diffuse reflection occurs as the angle of incidence varies from place to place.
All reflections follow the laws of reflection, so the angles of reflection of the
rays are different. As a result, the reflected rays are not parallel to each
other.
When light rays from the lamp fall on the smooth glossy paper, regular
reflection occurs. The glossy paper reflects too much light from the lamp to
Janice so that book B is difficult to read.
