critical angle inside cable


A fiber optic (n = 1.5) is submerged in water (n = 1.33). What is the critical angle for light to stay inside the cable?


i am so confuzed. this is the final question of my paper and i am stuck on a couple questions before this so it is obvious i would get this. i just need a start please.
