Which cable sends data as light?
A
Copper
B
Fibre Optic
C
Ethernet
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Fiber-optic cables are comprised of dozens or hundreds of optical fibers – very thin strands of glass or plastic that are less than 1/10 of the thickness of a human hair. Fiber-optic cables transmit data via fast-traveling pulses of light.

Detailed explanation-2: -Fiber Optic Cable Fiber optic cables use strands of glass to propagate light. The light pulses transport communication signals between devices. At the center of the fiber optic strand is a small inner core that carries the propagated light. Surrounding the core is the outer cladding.

Detailed explanation-3: -How Does a Fiber Optic Cable Work? 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.

Detailed explanation-4: -A fiber optic cable is a type of cable that uses light to transmit data over long distances. It consists of a core made of glass or plastic that is surrounded by layers of protective material, such as cladding.
