An optical cable in air is orientated horizontally. The cable has a core and a cladding layer. The index of refraction
for the core is 1.3 and the index of refraction for the cladding layer is 1.2. A light ray enters the center of the cable
with an incident angle ß=58°. The ray is subsequently refracted at the core-cladding interface and the cladding-air
interface. The angle between the exit ray and the cable wall is a. What is the angle a? The index of refraction of air
is 1.
