In the figure, a light initially in material 1 refracts into material 2, crosses that material and is then incident at the critical angle on the interface between materials 2 and 3. The indexes of refraction are n1=1.80, n2=1.40 and n3=1.20
(a) What is angle θ?
(b) If θ is increased, is there refraction of light into material 3?

Figure depicts a simplistic optical fiber: a plastic core n1=1.58 is surrounded by a plastic sheath n2=1.46. A light ray is incident on one end of the fiber at angle θ. The ray is to undergo total internal reflection at point A, where it encounters the core-sheath boundary. (Thus there is no loss of light through that boundary.) What is the maximum value of θ that allows total internal reflection at A?
