A physics student is trying to design an optical fiber that can carry laser light of wavelength 800 nm without losing any of the light due to absorption or scattering. The fiber has a core of refractive index n=1.50 and a cladding of refractive index n=1.45. What should be the minimum angle of incidence for the laser light at the core–cladding interface so that total internal reflection occurs and the light remains confined within the core?
