What is the working principle of optical fiber? Correct Answer Total internal reflection

The optical fiber works on the principle of Total internal reflection. It occurs when the angle of incidence of the incoming light ray is greater than the critical angle. It occurs when the light travels between two mediums of different refractive index.
