    The optical fibres have an inner core of refractive index\[{{n}_{1}}\]and a cladding of refractive index\[{{n}_{2}},\]such that

    A)  \[{{n}_{1}}={{n}_{2}}\] 

    B)                                         \[{{n}_{1}}\le {{n}_{2}}\]             

    C)         \[{{n}_{1}}<{{n}_{2}}\] 

    D)         \[{{n}_{1}}>{{n}_{2}}\]

    E)  \[{{n}_{1}}\ge {{n}_{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Optical fibre is made of a thin glass core (diameter 10 to\[100\text{ }\mu m\]) surrounded by a glass coating called cladding is protected by a jacket of plastic. The refractive index of the glass used for making core\[({{n}_{1}}\approx 1.7)\]is a little more than the refractive index of the glass\[({{n}_{2}}=1.5)\]used for making the cladding ie,\[{{n}_{1}}>{{n}_{2}}\].
