The critical angle for the boundary between two materials (such as the core and cladding of an optical fibre) is: θc = arcsign(n2/n1) Where n2 is the refractive index of the cladding layer. and n1 is the refractive index of the core layer. If we use a simply unclad fibre where the core has n1=1.50 and the air surrounding it forms a layer of n2=1.00 θc = 41.8 degrees.
in an optical fiber total internal reflection takes place between core and cladding. when core has greater refractive index than cladding. if n1=n2 then their is no TIR.
because in the fiber optics the transmission of the light waves are through core and cladding is to cover the core
yah! i think.....

Optical fibres are used to transmit light over distances of up to several hundred kilometres. A typical optical fibre consists of a cylindrical glass core, just a few micrometres in diameter, surrounded by a layer of a slightly different type of glass known as the cladding. Light in the core travels slightly slower than light in the cladding and this property tends to keep any light sent into the core from one end of the fibre from leaking out, until it reaches the far end. <a href="http://gow.epsrc.ac.uk/ViewGrant.aspx?GrantRef=EP/C014731/1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://gow.epsrc.ac.uk/ViewGrant.aspx</a> The cladding is a glass sheath that surrounds the core. The cladding acts like a mirror, reflecting light back into the core. The cladding itself is covered with a plastic coating and strength material when appropriate. <a href="http://www.linktionary.com/f/fiber-optic.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.linktionary.com/f/fiber-optic
Fibre Optics transmit data via refraction. It uses the concepts of Core and cladding.
Single-mode Fiber
Denser materials originally sank to the core. The compression of these materials formed a solid inner core.
Cladding in optical fibre is done for the total internal reflection of the waves propagating inside the fibre. The core of the fibre is made of material with less refractive index value than the material covering the core. When wave falls on the high refractive index material passing through the core it is reflected back.

Wall cladding is a type of decorative covering used on building exteriors. Though usually non-structural in nature, it may be functional in addition to decorative. This can include a degree of water-proofing, a barrier against the wind, or other protections. Cladding can take a number of different forms, be made from many different materials, and is often used to create a decorative building facade. Some of the popular materials for cladding include various metals, stone, and composite sidings.
