Can electricity be transmitted through optical fibers?
No. Light is transmitted through optical fibers.
What is the basic principle of fiber sensor?
A fiber optic sensor in general consists of a light source. The light source is coupled to an optical fiber. A light source which receives signal-carrying light beam on it emerges from the fiber. The signal from detector is processed electrically for getting information.
Why is optical fiber is small?
The light will be considered energy and that energy bounces side to side through the fiber. There is a constant loss. So the smaller the fiber the less loss you would have.
What is meant by atenuation in fiber optics?
Attenuation in fiber means 'loss of optical power' suffered by the optical signal in fiber itself.
Name two electromagnetic wave use to carry through an optical fiber?
We usually use some form of coherent light wave in fiber optic conduits to move data. That means a laser and the emission of light somewhere at or about optical wavelengths.
Can electricity be transmitted through optical fibers?
No. Light is transmitted through optical fibers.
How light can bend around corners inside an optical fiber?
Same way a hose will guide water to where you want it to go, the light will be guided by the material of the fiber and projected to the desired point. nick the line and you will see the light escape same as you nick a hose, water will escape. rim<3

How does fiber transmit data?
Optical fiber cables transmit light from one end to the other. The data is encoded into this light beam and travels down the fiber in this light. Obviously you need optical sensors at each end to get the information in and out.
What is numerical aparture in optic fiber?
Numerical aparture is the light collecting capability of the optical fiber.
What is fiber optic sensor?
An optical fiber is a glass or plastic fiber that carries light along its length. Fiber optics is the overlap of applied science and engineering concerned with the design and application of optical fibers.
Explain the propagation of light through optical fiber and appilication of optical fiber as wave guide and sensor?
The concept of light propagation, the transmission of light along an optical fiber, can be described by two theories. According to the first theory, light is described as a simple ray. This theory is the ray theory, or geometrical optics, approach. The advantage of the ray approach is that you get a clearer picture of the propagation of light along a fiber. The ray theory is used to approximate the light acceptance and guiding properties of optical fibers. According to the second theory, light is described as an electromagnetic wave. This theory is the mode theory, or wave representation, approach. The mode theory describes the behavior of light within an optical fiber. The mode theory is useful in describing the optical fiber properties of absorption, attenuation, and dispersion
What is the maximum voltage and current optical fiber can take?
Optical fibers transmit light, not electrical energy.
Which electromagnetic radiations can be transmitted through an optical fiber?
Visible light.
What is used to describe the light gathering or light collecting ability of an optical fiber?
a. Critical angle
What is optical fiber link?
An optical fiber (or fibre) is a glass or plastic fiber that carries light along its length. Optical fibers are widely used in fiber-optic communications, which permits transmission over longer distances and at higher bandwidths (data rates) than other forms of communications
Can you get shocked by touching fiber optical cables?
no, its just light being transmitted
