MCQ
Light guidance in an optical fiber can be understood by considering a structure comprising of thin solid glass cylinder of refractive index $n_1$ surrounded by a medium of lower refractive index $n_2$. The light guidance in the structure takes place due to successive total internal reflections at the interface of the media $n_1$ and $n_2$ as shown in the figure. All rays with the angle of incidence $i$ less than a particular value $i_m$ are confined in the medium of refractive index $n_1$. The numerical aperture ($NA$) of the structure is defined as $\sin i_m$ - $Image$

$1.$ For two structures namely $S_1$ with $n_1=\sqrt{45} / 4$ and $n_2=3 / 2$, and $S_2$ with $n_1=8 / 5$ and $n_2=7 / 5$ and taking the refractive index of water to be $4 / 3$ and that of air to be 1 , the correct option$(s)$ is(are)

$(A)$ $NA$ of $S_1$ immersed in water is the same as that of $S_2$ immersed in a liquid of refractive index $\frac{16}{3 \sqrt{15}}$

$(B)$ $NA$ of $S _1$ immersed in liquid of refractive index $\frac{6}{\sqrt{15}}$ is the same as that of $S _2$ immersed in water

$(C)$ $NA$ of $S_1$ placed in air is the same as that of $S_2$ immersed in liquid of refractive index $\frac{4}{\sqrt{15}}$.

$(D)$ $NA$ of $S_1$ placed in air is the same as that of $S_2$ placed in water

$2.$ If two structures of same cross-sectional area, but different numerical apertures $N A_1$ and $NA _2\left( NA _2< NA _1\right)$ are joined longitudinally, the numerical aperture of the combined structure is

$(A)$ $\frac{ NA _1 NA _2}{ NA _1+ NA _2}$ $(B)$ $NA _1+ NA _2$ $(C)$ $NA _1$ $(D)$ $NA _2$

Give the answer question $1$ and $2.$

  • A
    $(BD,A)$
  • B
    $(BC,C)$
  • $(AC,D)$
  • D
    $(AD,B)$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$(AC,D)$
c
$1.$ $\theta \geq c$

$\Rightarrow 90^{\circ}-r \geq c$

$\Rightarrow \sin \left(90^{\circ}-r\right) \geq c$

$\Rightarrow \cos r \geq \sin c$

using $\frac{\sin i }{\sin r }=\frac{ n _1}{ n _{ m }}$ and $\sin c =\frac{ n _2}{ n _1}$

we get, $\sin ^2 i_m=\frac{n_1^2-n_2^2}{n_m^2}$

Putting values, we get, correct options as $A \& C$

$2.$ For total internal reflection to take place in both structures, the numerical aperture should be the least one for the combined structure \& hence, correct option is $D$.

A cylindrical furnace has height $(H)$ and diameter $(D)$ both $1 \mathrm{~m}$. It is maintained at temperature $360 \mathrm{~K}$. The air gets heated inside the furnace at constant pressure $P_a$ and its temperature becomes $T=360 \mathrm{~K}$. The hot air with density $\rho$ rises up a vertical chimney of diameter $d=0.1 \mathrm{~m}$ and height $h=9 \mathrm{~m}$ above the furnace and exits the chimney (see the figure). As a result, atmospheric air of density $\rho_a=1.2 \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~m}^{-3}$, pressure $P_a$ and temperature $T_a=300 \mathrm{~K}$ enters the furnace. Assume air as an ideal gas, neglect the variations in $\rho$ and $T$ inside the chimney and the furnace. Also ignore the viscous effects.
