An optical fiber is characterized by

Show Hint

TIR is essential for light propagation in optical fibers—core must have higher refractive index than cladding.

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Optical fibers operate on the principle of total internal reflection (TIR). Light is guided through the core of the fiber by repeatedly reflecting off the core-cladding boundary, which requires the core to have a higher refractive index than the cladding.
