Which outcome occurs when an optical fiber's bend radius excessively decreases?

💡 Explanation

Increased modal dispersion results from exceeding bend radius limits; this causes increased wave path differences as cladding modes leak out disrupting modal equilibrium because radiation losses happen. Therefore, the signal degrades due to interference, rather than maintaining consistent propagation.
