Solution

The acceptance angle (θ) of a material can be found using the formula:

θ = arcsin(NA)

where NA is the numerical aperture.

Given that the numerical aperture (NA) is 0.707, we can substitute this value into the formula:

θ = arcsin(0.707)

Using a calculator, the arcsin(0.707) is approximately 45 degrees.

So, the acceptance angle of the material is 45 degrees.

Therefore, the correct answer is c. 45.
