The wave passes through an optical fiber with refraction, n sub f, surrounded by an outermost cladding layer of refraction, n sub c. The wave enters in the optical fiber cable with an incident angle theta sub i. The incident angle of the wave inside the cable is theta sub 2 and the incident angle at the cladding layer inside the cable is theta sub 3. The refraction outside the cable is labeled, n sub 0.
