Detailed Solution

Concept: When light travels from an optically denser to an optically rarer medium, if the angle of incidence is greater than a critical angle, it is reflected back into the optically denser medium from the interface between the two media.So, the formula for numerical aperture of an optical fiber is μ 1 2 μ 2 2  
 μ1= 1.68
μ2=1.44
  Numerical aperture
= 1.68 2 1.44 2 = 2.82242.0736 = 0.7488 =0.8653  
Hence, the correct option is 4.
