Refractive index of core of an optical fibre is 1.46 and its
diameter is 250μm. Light propagates along the axis of the fibre .
If the fibre bends at one point with radius of curvature R,
Calculate the minimum value (critical radius of curvature
Rmin) to sustain the light inside, without escaping from
the fibre.
Discuss the factors on which the critical radius of curvature
may depend? Does it depend on the colour of light propagating
through the fibre? ...
