Optical fibre works on the

  • A.Principle of refraction
  • B.Total internal reflection
  • C.Scattering
  • D.Interference

Answer: B

An optical fibre works by total internal reflection.

The core has a slightly higher refractive index than the cladding, so light striking the boundary beyond the critical angle is reflected entirely back into the core, and travels the length of the fibre in a zigzag with almost no loss.
