In Optical Fiber The Refractive Index Of The Core Is

Answer 1

Explanation:

index of the cladding, n2. Light is guided through the core, and the fiber acts as an optical waveguide.

index of the cladding, n2. Light is guided through the core, and the fiber acts as an optical waveguide. the propagation of light down the fiber-optic cable using the principle of total internal reflection. As illustrated, a light ray is injected into the fiber-optic cable on the left. If the light ray is injected and strikes the core-to-cladding interface at an angle greater than the critical angle with respect to the normal axis, it is reflected back into the core. Because the angle of incidence is always equal to the angle of reflection, the reflected light continues to be reflected. The light ray then continues bouncing down the length of the fiber-optic cable. If the angle of incidence at the core-to-cladding interface is less than the critical angle, both reflection and refraction take place. Because of refraction at each incidence on the interface, the light beam attenuates and dies off over a certain distance.
