A bent optical fibre still carries light along its length because:
ARays still exceed critical angle
BLight is absorbed, then re-emitted
CThe glass acts as a mirror
DLight bends round corners
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Rays still exceed critical angle
Fibres are made so that each reflection meets the wall at more than the critical angle, so total internal reflection continues even when bent.
