Optical fibre works on the
A
scattering
B
interference
C
principle of refraction
D
total internal reflection
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Optical fibres rely on total internal reflection for their operation. An optical fibre is a thin rod of high-quality glass. Light/infrared getting in at one end undergoes repeated total internal reflection and emerges at the other end. Notice that the light refracts towards the normal as it enters the optical fibre.

Detailed explanation-2: -Optical fiber uses the optical principle of “total internal reflection” to capture the light transmitted in an optical fiber and confine the light to the core of the fiber. An optical fiber is comprised of a light-carrying core in the center, surrounded by a cladding that acts to traps light in the core.

Detailed explanation-3: -Optical fibre works on the principle of total internal reflection.

Detailed explanation-4: -Optical fiber works on the principle of total internal reflection that the ray get internally reflected when it passes from a denser medium to rarer medium provided angle of incidence is greater than crictical angle.

Detailed explanation-5: -Note: Optical Fibre technology used to transmit data without loss in the Energy of light. This technology used the concept of light which is known as Total Internal Reflection (TIR). This phenomena happens when light rays pass through more optically, dense medium to less optically dense medium.
