Which mechanism minimizes signal loss during fiber optic propagation?

💡 Explanation

Total internal reflection confines light within the fiber because refraction directs all light back into the core, therefore preserving signal integrity rather than signal decay from absorption or dispersion that degrade the propagating light.
