Question
- Assertion (A): Propagation of light through an optical fibre is due to total internal reflection taking place at the core-cladding interface.
- Reason (R): Refractive index of the material of the cladding of the optical fibre is greater than that of the core.
Options
If both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
If both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.
If Assertion is true but Reason is false.
If both Assertion and Reason are false.
Solution
If Assertion is true but Reason is false.
Explanation:
Propagation of light through an optical fibre is due to total internal reflection taking place at the core-cladding interface. The claim is correct.
One requirement for total internal reflection is that light goes from a denser to a rarer medium. Total internal reflection occurs in optical fibre as light passes from the core to the cladding. As a result, the core's refractive index should be larger than that of the cladding. As a result, the reason is untrue.
