Light guidance in an optical fiber can be understood by considering a structure comprising of thin solid glass cylinder of refractive index n_(1) surrounded by a medium of lower refractive index n_(2) . The light guidance in the structure takes place due to successive total internal reflections at the interface of the media n_(1) and n_(2) as shown in the figure . all rays with the angle of incidence i less than a particular value of i_(m) are confined in the medium of refractive index n_(1) .
