QuestionQ18

AI Overview

Which of the following principles is used for light propagation in an optical fiber? According to Snell’s law, the angles of incidence and reflection are equal (θ1 = θ3), and the relationship between incidence and refraction satisfies the equation: n1sinθ1 = n2sinθ2.

  • A Total reflection
  • B Scattering
  • C Incidence
  • D Refraction
Explanation

Optical fibers confine and transmit light through total internal reflection at the boundary between the higher-refractive-index core and the lower-refractive-index cladding. Snell’s law determines the critical-angle condition for this reflection.
