In fibre optics, the signal source is ____________ waves.
The correct option is A Light
In fibre optics, the
signal source is Light waves.
The light in a
fiber-optic cable travels through the core (hallway) by constantly bouncing
from the cladding (mirror-lined walls), a principle called total internal
reflection. Because the cladding does not absorb any light from the core, the
light wave can travel great distances.
Light Source. In fiber
optics, a source of light (laser, LED, etc.) is used to emit electromagnetic
radiation in order to perform a specific task, whether detecting faults, breaks
and microbends, characterizing link-loss or certifying LAN/WANs.
Total internal
reflection. When light traveling in an optically dense medium hits a boundary
at a steep angle (larger than the critical angle for the boundary), the light
is completely reflected. This is called total internal reflection. This effect
is used in optical fibers to confine light in the core.
And there are significant
water bands in the infrared. Plastic optical fiber (POF) is made from materials
that have lower absorption at shorter wavelengths, so red light at 650 nm is
commonly used with POF, but at 850 nm attenuation is still acceptable so short
wavelength glass fiber transmitters may be used.
