Example 7: During the investigation of a new type of optical fiber having an index of refraction n = 1.21, a laser beam is aimed at the flat end of a straight fiber, as shown in the figure. What is the from maximum angle of incidence 01 if the beam is not to escape the sides of the fiber if it is surrounded by air?
