The speed of light in the fibre is greater. As a result, light moving toward the outer covering is refracted back towards the core.
1. The Angle of Incidence equals the Angle of Reflection. 2. The Angle of Incidence is very SHALLOW. The light travels almost parallel to the sides of the Fiber.

They are equal.
About 2/3 its speed in a vacuum.
Those speeds are equal, even though the speed of the light was temporarily less while it was inside the glass.
The speed of light in the fibre is greater. As a result, light moving toward the outer covering is refracted back towards the core.
A fiber optic sensor in general consists of a light source. The light source is coupled to an optical fiber. A light source which receives signal-carrying light beam on it emerges from the fiber. The signal from detector is processed electrically for getting information.
fiber optics
fiber optics transfer data at the speed of light because that's exactly what is transmitted through them... light. fiber optic cables are thin pieces of glass that transmit light pulses
Light can be redirected by fiber optics through a process called total internal reflection. When light enters the fiber at a certain angle, it reflects off the inner walls of the fiber, which are coated with a material that has a lower refractive index. This allows the light to travel along the length of the fiber without escaping, effectively guiding it from one end to the other. The design of the fiber, including its core and cladding, is crucial for maintaining this reflection and directing the light efficiently.
mode means path, the way in which light travel, in the fiber means angle in multi mode fiber light can travel in more then one angle so it is called multi mode fiber. but in single mode fiber there is dedicated path or single path through which light beam/source can travel.
Optical fiber cables transmit light from one end to the other. The data is encoded into this light beam and travels down the fiber in this light. Obviously you need optical sensors at each end to get the information in and out.
yes it is. when a light is incident on one end of fiber at a small angle it is refracted into the fiber.

Same way a hose will guide water to where you want it to go, the light will be guided by the material of the fiber and projected to the desired point. nick the line and you will see the light escape same as you nick a hose, water will escape. rim<3
Incandescent light cannot be used for a fiber optic transmitter. This is because incandescent light is too slow for such a transmitter.
In a fiber you don't want any reflection. You just want efficient transmission of information. Fiber that is bent too much bleeds to light into the cladding. You must polish fiber when joining it to another.
