Problem 2(10 pts): Light enters the end of a long optical fiber from air as shown below. [Take the fiber as extending to the right to infinity.] In order to avoid complications, this optical fiber has no cladding, that is, it is surrounded by air, and we take the fiber as a 2-dimensional object. The refractive index of air is n=1.0, and the refractive index of the fiber is n=1.2.
a)(4 pts) What range of entering angles between 0-90 allow the light to enter the end of the fiber? Explain your reasoning.
b)(6 pts ) What range of entering angles allow the light to be totally internally reflected at subsequent encounters with the walls of the fiber?
