The numerical aperture of a coaxial cable with core and cladding indices given by 2.33 and 1.4 respectively is Correct Answer 1.86

The numerical aperture is given by NA = √(n12 – n22), where n1 and n2 are the refractive indices of core and cladding respectively. On substituting for n1 = 2.33 and n2 = 1.4, we get NA = √(2.332-1.42) = 1.86.
