Light guidance in an optical fiber can be understood by considering a structure comprising of thin solid glass cylinder of
refractive index n1 surrounded by a medium of lower refractive index n2. The light guidance in the structure takes place
due to successive total internal reflections at the interface of the media n1 and n2 as shown in the figure. All rays with
