Solution and Explanation
Optical fibers transmit light signals using the principle of total internal reflection. The light signals enter the fiber at an angle greater than the critical angle, which causes the light to be reflected entirely within the fiber. This continuous reflection ensures that the light travels through the fiber even if the fiber is bent.
