9. A fiber optic cable is a long cylinder of plastic (the core) coated in cladding. The index of
refraction of the core is 1.55, and the index of refraction of the cladding is 1.35.
a. If the incident angle 0 in the picture is 16.0°, what is the angle of refraction in the
core?
b. What is the largest angle 0 at which light can hit the end of the cable and still be
totally internally reflected by the cladding in the core?
