Please show how to solve the following four questions:

4) Consider an optical fiber having a core index of 1.46 and a cladding index of 1.45.

(please see the attachment for the illustration)

a) What is the critical angle for this core-cladding interface?
b) For what range of angles inside the fiber at the entrance to the fiber (please see the attached file) will light be totally internally reflected at the upper edge of the fiber?
c) To what range of incidence angles (please see the attached file) does this correspond?
d) How will that range of incidence angles in part (c) be changed if the fiber is submersed in water rather than air?
