Question

For the angle 6.02 degrees, find the speed at which light actually makes its way along the fiber- that is, the length of fiber that the light traverses per unit time.

An optical fiber with circular cross section has
refractive index 1.450. It's surrounded by a cladding
with refractive index 1.442.

Definition Definition Rate at which light travels, measured in a vacuum. The speed of light is a universal physical constant used in many areas of physics, most commonly denoted by the letter c . The value of the speed of light c = 299,792,458 m/s, but for most of the calculations, the value of the speed of light is approximated as c = 3 x 10 8 m/s.
