Total internal reflection is a phenomenon where light traveling from a denser medium to a less dense medium is completely reflected back into the denser medium when the angle of incidence exceeds the critical angle. This is crucial for guiding light signals through optical fibers without loss.
The fibre optics is based on the principle of
