Light can travel long distances through optical fibers due to the phenomenon of total internal reflection. But if anything touches the surface of the fiber, it messes up the reflection and causes light to leave the fiber. To prevent this, the core of the optical fiber is typically surrounded by a cladding made of a lower index of refraction material. This keeps things away from the surface of the core. But because the cladding has an index higher than that of air, the critical angle is larger than it would have been than if the core were in contact with the air. Required:
If the core of an optical fiber has an index of refraction of 1.624 and the cladding has an index of refraction of 1.311, what is the critical angle for total internal reflection?

Imagine you are riding on a yacht in the ocean and traveling at 20 mph. you then hit a golf ball at 100 mph from the deck of the yacht. you see the ball move away from you at 100mph, while a person standing on a near by beach would observe your golf ball traveling at 120 mph (20 mph + 100 mph). now imagine you are aboard the hermes spacecraft traveling at 0.1c (1/10 the speed of light) past mars and shine a laser from the front of the ship. you would see the light traveling at c (the speed of light) away from your ship. according to einstein’s special relativity, how fast will a person on mars observe the light to be traveling? a) 0.1c (1/10 the speed of light) b) c (the speed of light) c)1.1c (c+0.1c)
