Detailed Solution

Some of the characteristics of an optical fiber are as follows:

(i)         It consists of core made up of glass/silica/plastic with refractive index n1 , which is surrounded by a glass or plastic cladding with   refractive index n2(n2<n1) . The refractive index of cladding can be either changing abruptly or gradually changing (graded index fibre).

(ii)        There is a very little transmission loss through optical fibres

(iii)       There is no interference from stray electric and magnetic fields to the signals through optical fibres.
