Monolingual examples (not verified by PONS Editors)

English

They typically measure some angle of refraction or the critical angle for total internal reflection. en.wikipedia.org

However, it is usually possible for humans to avoid wide-open positions by conservative play, and to angle for strategic positions in which computers fare worse. en.wikipedia.org

Rays that meet the core-cladding boundary at a high angle (measured relative to a line normal to the boundary), greater than the critical angle for this boundary, are completely reflected. en.wikipedia.org

The critical angle (minimum angle for total internal reflection) is determined by the difference in index of refraction between the core and cladding materials. en.wikipedia.org
