A ray of light is incident at an angle i from dense to rare medium. The reflected and refracted rays are mutually perpendicular. The angle of reflection and refraction are r and r' respectively. Find the critical angle.

Q.2 (AIIMS) What should be the maximum acceptance angle at the air-core interface of an optical fibre if \(\sf n_1\) and \(\sf n_2\) are the refractive indices of the core and cladding.

Parth (parthkohli):

first of all, I don't see why they've separately given \(i \) and \(r\) when \(i = r\).

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Just to trick..

Parth (parthkohli):

Wait, so if we get an answer in terms of \(r\), then it can also be represented in terms of \(i\). That's weird.
