The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Optical Fibers**: Optical fibers are thin strands of glass or plastic that transmit light signals over long distances. They consist of a core and a cladding layer. 2. **Core and Cladding**: The core of the optical fiber has a higher refractive index (μ1) compared to the cladding (μ2). This difference in refractive indices is crucial for the functioning of optical fibers. 3. **Total Internal Reflection**: For light to be transmitted efficiently through the optical fiber, it must undergo total internal reflection. This occurs when light travels from a denser medium (core) to a rarer medium (cladding) at an angle greater than the critical angle. 4. **Applications of Optical Fibers**: - **Endoscopy**: Optical fibers are used in medical instruments like endoscopes, which allow doctors to view the inside of the body by transmitting light and images from internal surfaces. - **High-Speed Internet**: Fiber optic cables are used for internet connections, transmitting large amounts of data at high speeds compared to traditional copper wires. - **Telecommunication**: They are also used in radio, television, and telephone signals, providing efficient transmission over long distances. 5. **Conclusion**: Given the applications and the principle of total internal reflection, we can conclude that optical fibers are used in various fields, including medicine and telecommunications. ### Final Answer: All of the mentioned applications (endoscopy, high-speed internet, and telecommunication) utilize optical fibers. Therefore, the correct answer is option number four. ---
