Which consequence results when cladding refractive index decreases in optical fiber?

💡 Explanation

Decreasing the cladding's refractive index causes stronger evanescent wave penetration into the cladding because the acceptance angle decreases; therefore, more light leaks because less total internal reflection occurs, rather than decreased scattering losses with a different waveguide geometry.
