Solution
The correct option is D total internal reflection An optical fibre is based on the principle of TotalInternalReflection. When, a light ray enters into the optical fibre, it suffers multiple total internal reflection from the side surface and emerges from the other end without any loss of energy. Optical fibres are generally made of glass or plastic having high refractive index and coated with a substance of lower refractive index.
