FUNDAMENTALS OF COMPUTER

Detailed explanation-1: -Fiber-optic cables transmit data via fast-traveling pulses of light. Another layer of glass, called “cladding, ” is wrapped around the central fiber and causes light to repeatedly bounce off the walls of the cable rather than leak out at the edges, enabling the single to go farther without attenuation.

Detailed explanation-2: -Light travels down a fiber optic cable by bouncing off the walls of the cable repeatedly. Each light particle (photon) bounces down the pipe with continued internal mirror-like reflection. The light beam travels down the core of the cable. The core is the middle of the cable and the glass structure.

Detailed explanation-3: -Transceivers are wavelength-specific lasers that convert electrical data signals from data switches into optical signals. These signals can then be transmitted over the optical fiber. Each data stream is converted to a signal with a unique wavelength, meaning that it is effectively a unique light color.

Detailed explanation-4: -Fiber-optic communication is a method of transmitting information from one place to another by sending pulses of infrared light through an optical fiber. The light is a form of carrier wave that is modulated to carry information.

Detailed explanation-5: -Optical fibers use total internal reflection to transmit light. It has a solid core of dense glass surrounded by a less dense cladding. The light ray passing through the inner core is reflected back instead of being refracted to the rarer cladding.
