What is optical fiber?

Answer Posted / sacchidanand teke

In Short,
An optical fiber is a flexible, transparent fiber made of
high quality extruded glass (silica) or plastic, slightly
thicker than a human hair.
*Optical fibers are widely used in fiber-optic
communications,metal wires ,most high definition
televisions offer a digital audio optical connection
*Optical fibers typically include a transparent core
surrounded by a transparent cladding material with a lower
index of refraction. Light is kept in the core by total
internal reflection. This causes the fiber to act as a
waveguide
