Optical fiber guides light mainly by:
Select the correct option:
Solution
Incorrect! Answer:
Total internal reflection
An Optical Fiber consists of a core of higher refractive index surrounded by a cladding of lower refractive index.
- Light entering the core at a small angle hits the core-cladding interface at an angle greater than the critical angle.
- It undergoes repeated Total Internal Reflection (TIR), traveling long distances with minimal loss even if the fiber is bent.
