What is Total Internal Reflection?. Focus 4. Total Internal Reflection. Using total internal reflection: fibre optics. Light rays enter the centre core – a high refractive index
E N D
Using total internal reflection: fibre optics • Light rays enter the centre core – a high refractive index • They are reflected at the interface between the core and the cladding because the cladding has a lower refractive index – total internal reflection has occurred.
