Remember to box your calculated results (- 5 points for each question)

Question 1 (30pts):
1. Indicate the anatomy of an optical fiber. Briefly describe the function of each component
of the fiber optic. (10pts)
2. Give an application of optical fiber in biomedical engineering and briefly describe it?
(10pts)
3. Briefly describe Macular Degeneration, Glaucoma, and their current treatments. Why are
these methods used in 6 – 10 lines and use your own word.? (10pts)
Question 2 (30pts):
1. What is the formula for optical fiber attenuation? (10pts)
2. An optical fiber having a coefficient of attenuation of 15dB/Km is used for the
communication between the distances of 40Km. How many regenerators need to be
installed? As a rule, reamplification of the signal is necessary when the power loses
50dB. (20pts)
Question 3 (40pts):
1. What are refraction and reflection? What is a critical angle? (10pts)
2. A rectangular pool with a flat horizontal bottom is filled with water. A student looking at
the midpoint of the water surface at an angle of 45° with the vertical is barely able to see
a point lying on the intersection of the pool wall and the bottom of the pool. Calculate
the depth of the pool. Given that the refractive index of water is n = 4/3, the two walls of
the pool are 30cm apart. (20pts)
3. What is Snell’s law formula? Indicate each value. (10pts)
