optics - Why does a single mode fibre have a cutoff wavelength?


I earlier had a doubt based on ray theory that light must reflect and so all wavelengths should propagate through SMF. This Q/A Single-mode fibers and ray-theory of light does specify that we have to consider wave theory for propagation of wave in SMF, but i still don't get why a SMF has a cutoff wavelength.
