how was the path of light ray in an optical fibre

Answer:
The light in a fiber-optic cable travels through the core (hallway) by constantly bouncing from the cladding (mirror-lined walls), a principle called total internal reflection. Because the cladding does not absorb any light from the core, the light wave can travel great distances.

Because they can walk in any kind of crooked path. The holes through the fibers are extremely fine.
Explanation:
- Light in a fiber-optic cable travels through the core (hallway) by continuously bouncing off the cladding (mirror-lined walls), a principle known as total internal reflection.
- Light travels down a fiber optic cable by repeatedly bouncing off the cable walls.
- Each light particle (photon) bounces down the pipe with a continuous internal mirror-like reflection.
- The light beam travels down the core of the cable.
- Light normally moves in straight lines, but it "bends" in an optical fiber.
