Which consequence results when imperfections cause variations in fiber optic refractive index?

💡 Explanation

Increased modal dispersion occurs because variations induce distortions; therefore, light rays follow different paths creating time differences using constructive and destructive interference, rather than uniform transit, under ideal fiber properties and propagation without refractive index changes.
