Which consequence results when cladding refractive index is reduced?

💡 Explanation

Lower cladding refractive index decreasing the critical angle required for total internal reflection because Snell's Law dictates refraction; therefore, light leaks from the core, rather than staying contained and fiber transmission is lost.
