Solution

The correct option is A Less dense

In an optical fibre, the inner core is Less dense than the cladding.

Cladding is one or more layers of materials of lower refractive index, in intimate contact with a core material of higher refractive index. It is used in optical fibers. The cladding causes light to be confined to the core of the fiber by total internal reflection at the boundary between the two.

This is the light transmission area of the fiber, either glass or plastic. ... Cladding: The function of the cladding is to provide a lower refractive index at the core interface in order to cause reflection within the core so that light waves are transmitted through the fiber.

The refractive index of the core, n1, is always greater than the index of the cladding, n2. Light is guided through the core, and the fiber acts as an optical waveguide. ... Because the angle of incidence is always equal to the angle of reflection, the reflected light continues to be reflected.
