Lab - Light propagation and optical fiber

Extract from the Official Bulletin:
2nd: Health - Medical diagnosis
Straight-line propagation of light.
Refraction and total internal reflection.
Perform an experimental approach on refraction and total internal reflection.
Perform an experimental approach to understand the principle of exploration methods and the influence of the properties of propagation media.

1st STL: - SPCL Image Module - Images and information
- Explain the principle of light propagation in an optical fiber.

Tle: - SPCL Waves Module
Measure
- Connect the optical indices of media to the critical angle of refraction.
Waves Module
- Trace the path of the light beam in a system that directs or concentrates light.
- Experimentally determine a critical angle of incidence.

Introduction:
Medicine, measuring instruments, lighting, digital transmission... Today, optical fiber is omnipresent and has led to very significant technological advances in the last 50 years.
To discover what happens in an optical fiber, it is possible to use models that will address basic concepts.
The manipulations presented here should be compared to the classical manipulations of reflection and refraction.
