The limiting angle is called the acceptance angle, and the rays that are confined by the core/cladding boundary are called guided rays.
In a visit to Los Alamos in September 1944, von Neumann showed that the pressure increase from explosion shock wave reflection from solid objects was greater than previously believed if the angle of incidence of the shock wave was between 90 and some limiting angle.
