Question

For this assignment, do some research on fiber optics, a form of technology that involves some of the properties of light you have learned about in this unit. In your research, find out:
* what fiber optics is used for
* how fiber optics uses light
* the main components of a fiber optics system
* how fiber optics systems transmit light.

Worth 100 points .. please help ?

Answer 1

Fiber optics is kind of system transmitting light or electromagnetic wave. It comes like as a bunch of very narrow diameter tube inside of which is specially arranged to reflect beam of light untill it reach the other end

Answer 2

Thanks. Is that for all 4 Questions ? or just the first one.

Answer 3

For all in brief and i want to send you a pdf file describing in details

Answer 4

Okay

Answer 5

Fiber optics is based on the phenomenon of total internal reflection.
When the light moves from one medium to other then the bending of light takes place, When the angle of incident ray is greater than some critical angle then this phenomenon of total internal reflection takes place.
In fiber optics, the material used, the diameter of the tube and angle of first incident light is such that there will be many many internal reflections while the light travel through the tube. And this total internal reflection is the only phenomenon which gives you 100% result.Hence by using optical fibers we do not loose any data and the speed is also very high.
