An optical fibre consists of core of µ1 surrounded by a cladding of µ2 < µ1. A beam of light enters from air at an angle α with axis of fibre. The highest α for which ray can be travelled through fibre is
  1. \(\cos ^{-1} \sqrt{\mu_{2}^{2}-\mu_{1}^{2}}\)
  2. \(\sin ^{-1} \sqrt{\mu_{1}^{2}-\mu_{2}^{2}}\)
  3. \(\tan ^{-1} \sqrt{\mu_{1}^{2}-\mu_{2}^{2}}\)
  4. \(\sec ^{-1} \sqrt{\mu_{1}^{2}-\mu_{2}^{2}}\)

Answer

(B) ^ -1 _ 1 ^ 2 - _ 2 ^ 2
