Which mechanism enables light propagation within optical fibers?

💡 Explanation

Light propagates due to Total Internal Reflection, because the angle of incidence exceeds the critical angle which then confines light within the core. Therefore, guided propagation occurs, rather than light escaping, due to minimal material absorption.
