Question 35Asked in UGC NET Computer Science, June 2016 (Paper II & III, Selected Questions)

Optical fiber uses reflection to guide light through a channel, in which angle of incidence is ________ the critical angle.

  1. AEqual to
  2. BLess than
  3. CGreater than
  4. DLess than or equal to
Show answerHide answer

Correct answer: (C) Greater than

Explanation

If the angle of incidence is equal to the critical angle, the light beam bends along the interface. When a beam of light travels through media of two different densities, if the angle of incidence is greater than the critical angle, reflection occurs.
