Long thin strands of glass or plastic that carry light for long distances without allowing the light to fade are called?
optical fibers
What is the traveling of concentrated light through long tiny fibers of glass to carry sound?
Fiber optics does not transmit sound. The long tiny fibers are long narrow strands of glass or a glass-like material generally referred to as optical fibers. Light travels inside these strands with little loss. Modulating the light makes the light into a signal and so the light can carry information. One common use of optical fibers to transmit information is the use to communicate phone calls, so sound is convered to a light signal and transmitted through optical fibers and at the other end it can be converted back into sound. Optical fibers do not transmit sound but transmit light that contains the information abut the sound. The phase "concentrated light" does not really apply to this process in an obvious way because "concentrated" is a term with meaning only in a comparative sense. Light is transmitted through optical fibers and carries digital information of all sorts.
What kind of light is used to carry information through optical fibers?
The light used in optical fibres is either visible or infra red like my super whizzie broadband....
What is optic fiber?
Fiber-optic communication is a method of transmitting information from one place to another by sending pulses of light through an optical fiber. The light forms an electromagnetic carrier wave that is modulated to carry information. First developed in the 1970s, fiber-optic communication systems have revolutionized the telecommunications industry and have played a major role in the advent of the Information Age. Because of itsadvantages over electrical transmission, optical fibers have largely replaced copper wire communications in core networks in the developed world.The process of communicating using fiber-optics involves the following basic steps: Creating the optical signal involving the use of a transmitter, relaying the signal along the fiber, ensuring that the signal does not become too distorted or weak, receiving the optical signal, and converting it into an electrical signal.A Fiber Optic is a piece of plastic or glass with light going through it.A technology that uses glass or plastic to transmit data.this data can be a cable tv data,computer networking data or telephone data .
What do you call the traveling of concentrated light through long tiny fibers of glass to carry sound?
That would be fiber-optic communication. Note: Sound is not carried; only light.

When is total internal reflection used to carry light?
It is used in optical fibers. It is also the reason we see a rainbow and why diamonds have their brilliance.
Why do optical fibers carry light?
Their construction from an inner core and outer shell with different refractive indexes causes any light attempting to escape to be refracted back into the core. Also the selection of low loss materials permits the light to travel very long distances.
What is SONET synchronous optical networking?
SONET (Synchronous Optical Network) is a physical layer network technology designed to carry large volumes of traffic over relatively long distances on fiber optic cabling.
DoesAfferent fibers carry messages to the muscles true or false?
False. Afferent fibers carry the messages to the brain while Efferent fibers carry them to the CNS which then goes directly to the motor unit for a reaction to the stimulus.
Which part of the neuron can carry information for long distances?
The axon is the part of the neuron that can carry information for long distances.
What is the name of the fibers that carry cardiac impulses from the interventricular septum into the myocardium?
Purkinje fibers
Why are optical fibres flexible?
This is because they can carry more information than copper wire and alsoare less expensive to repair
What are the advantages of using optical fiber instead of radio waves to carry signals?
see www.soe.ucsc.edu/classes/cmpe150/Fall05/lecture6.ppt for the answerAnswerThe biggest is less attenuation (degradation) of signal, so that a message can travel significantly further over an optical fibre than over a copper (twisted pair of coax) cable before it becomes too garbled to understand. In addition, fibre optic cables are generally immune to electromagnetic interference (such as strong electrical or magnetic fields) nearby, while copper cables can have such interference reduce or completely destroy their ability to carry signals. Finally, it is much easier to transmit on multiple channels (frequencies) over fibre than over copper, so a fibre optic cable can handle many more simultaneous message streams than twisted pair or coax. In short: fibre allows hugely greater distances between endpoints, is practically immune to outside interference, and can handle hundreds or thousands of times more signal channels than twisted pair or coaxial cable.
