In an optical fibre, the propagation of light occurs due to which phenomenon? Write answer only.

Light guidance in an optical fiber can be understood by considering a structure comprising of thin solid glass cylinder of refractive index surrounded by a medium of lower refractive index . The light guidance in the structure takes place due to successive total internal reflections at the interface of the media and as shown in the figure. All rays with the angle of incidence less than a particular value are confined in the medium of refractive index . The numerical aperture (NA) of the structure is defined as .
For two structures namely with and , and with and and taking the refractive index of water to be and that of air to be 1, the correct option(s) is (are)
