When was the optical telescope invented?

Fiber optics was invented for the same reason that human optics were invented, the fiber was having trouble seeing clearly.


How is light used in fiber optics?

Light enter the optical fibre, and is totally internally reflected all the way along.


Difference between coaxical cable and fiber optics?

Hi, Fiber Optics transmit signal using lights rather than electic current, so when signal passes though an optical fiber cable, it does not generate electric or magnetic field around it, and it is not affected by surrounding magnetic or electric fields Adv of optical fiber is that they are immune to noise, signal passes at lights speed, and no signal power is lost along the transmission line.


What is the definition of advanced fiber optics?

Fiber optics are usually manufactured in long fibers, or string shapes. They can bend and flex like the fibers that make up your clothes, altough they are a bit more rigid and fragile. The word 'optic' means that it has to do with light. Sometimes a fiber optic cable is called an 'optical fiber'. Essentially they are like pipes that can guide light along a specific path.


Why are GEO systems telecommunication currently being replaced by fiber optics?

The delay earth-GEO satellite-back to earth is always about 250 ms. This is very high compared to delays in fibre optics. Nothing can change this fact as (currently) the speed of light is the upper limit for the signal propagation speed and the distance of the GEOs is almost the circumference of the earth.
