Solution

The acceptance angle in an optical fiber can be calculated using the formula:

θ = sin^-1(NA)

where:

  • θ is the acceptance angle
  • NA is the numerical aperture

Given that the numerical aperture (NA) is 0.26, we can substitute this value into the formula:

θ = sin^-1(0.26)

Using a calculator to find the inverse sine of 0.26, we get:

θ ≈ 15.07°

So, the acceptance angle of the optical fiber is approximately 15.07 degrees.
