    ANSWER SCHEME

    NO ANSWER MARK
    1 (a) The angle of incidence when the angle of refraction is 90° 1
    (b) The light enters at 0° // incidence ray is 0° // light enters at normal line 1
    (c) Total internal reflection 1
    (d) Prism P : increase the angle of incidence // i > 45° 1
    Prism Q : reduce the angle of incidence // i < 45° 1
    TOTAL 5 MARKS

    NO ANSWER MARK
    2
    Characteristics Explanation

    A bundle of fine parallel optical Capable of carrying more data signals 2


    fibre simultaneously

    Refractive index of inner core Total internal reflection occur when light 2
    greater than outer core, ni > no travel inside the optical fibre

    High flexibility It can be used for a longer distance


    2
    High purity of inner core The signals can travel over a long distance
    without losing information
    2
    Low density Lighter and easy to handle
