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.
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.
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
Fiber optics utilize the principles of both refraction and reflection to transmit data through the core of the optical fiber. Refraction occurs when light enters the fiber and bends as it travels through the core due to differences in refractive indexes between the core and cladding. Reflection occurs at the core-cladding interface, ensuring that the light signal stays confined within the core and can transmit information efficiently over long distances.
Factory cladding refers to the protective exterior covering applied to buildings, particularly industrial or manufacturing facilities. It serves both functional and aesthetic purposes, enhancing insulation, weather resistance, and fire protection while also contributing to the overall appearance of the structure. Common materials used for factory cladding include metal panels, concrete, and composite materials. Proper cladding is essential for maintaining energy efficiency and safeguarding the building's integrity over time.
Fibre Optics transmit data via refraction. It uses the concepts of Core and cladding.
Single-mode Fiber
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.
The U.S. one-dollar coin, also known as the Sacagawea dollar, is composed of a copper core with a manganese-brass outer cladding. This composition gives the coin its distinctive golden color.
