    Question

    The phenomenon due to which optical wave propagation is possible in optical fiber is called?

    A.

    Total external refraction

    B.

    Total external reflection

    C.

    Total internal refraction

    D.

    Total internal reflection

    Correct option is D


    In an optical fiber, light propagates through the core due to the phenomenon of total internal reflection. This occurs when:
    1. Light travels from a medium with a higher refractive index (core) to a medium with a lower refractive index (cladding).
    2. The angle of incidence is greater than the critical angle for the core-cladding interface.
    This ensures that light is reflected entirely within the core and continues to propagate along the fiber.
    Use of optical fibers:-
    In the communication of light signal.
    In data transmission.
