Please answer these in a very short but detailed manner 1. Does this mean that the light will be reflected regardless of the angle? (See picture) 2. So if violet light is deviated the most, that means it also has an increased index of refraction and a smaller wavelength in comparison to red light? (Picture not needed)

When a beam of light enters at one end of a transparent rod (Figure 23.27 [[), the light is totally reflected internally and is "trapped" within the rod even if the rod is curved, as long as the light reflects off the walls of the rod at an an- gle of incidence that is greater than the critical angle. This will be true provid- ed that the curvature at any point along the length of the rod is not too great. Such a rod is sometimes called a light pipe. A bundle of fine plastic fibers be- haves in the same way and has the ad- vantage of being flexible. A bundle may consist of thousands of individual fibers, each on the order of o.002-0.01 mm in diameter. If the fibers are assem- bled in the bundle so that the relative positions of the ends are the same (or mirror images) at both ends, the bundle can transmit an image
