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.
Long thin strands of glass or plastic that carry light for long distances without allowing the light to fade are called?
optical fibers
What happens to the light that doesnt go through glass?
When light hits glass: -- some of it bounces off the glass surface and goes back away from the glass (reflection) -- some of it is absorbed into the glass and never heard from again (absorption) -- some of it goes through the glass and comes out the other side (transmission).
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.
Optical fibers can carry light long distances because?
The light inside them travels parallel to the insid surface of the fibers
Optic fibers are that arer able to transmit light waves from one place to another?
transparent glass fibers
How repeated reflection allows light to travel along glass fibers?
The light traveling in an optical fiber is literally bouncing off the walls of the fiber. The outside layer of the glass is called the cladding. It is different from the glass inside. It was annealed during the fiber making process. The cladding does not allow much of the light to escape. Unless it is above a critical angle it will bounce down the way to the other end.
Can electricity be transmitted through optical fibers?
No. Light is transmitted through optical fibers.

What is in an arthroscope?
It contains magnifying lenses and glass-coated fibers that send concentrated light into the joint and a camera
What technologies are optical fibers used with?
Optical fibers are flexible transparent fibers made of glass or plastic and transmits light between its two ends. They are mainly used in the fields of applied science and engineering.
Long thin strands of glass or plastic that carry light for long distances without allowing the light to fade are called?
optical fibers
The traveling of concentrated light through long tiny fibers of glass to carry sound is called fiber?
"optics"
What is the traveling of concentrated light through long tiny fibers of glass to carry sound is called?
fiber-optic
The traveling of concentrated light through long tiny fibers of glass to carry sound is called what?
fiber-optic
What is glass wood?
Do you mean glass wool? That is glass fibers massed together. It is used in a lot of insulating material. Maybe you mean Wood's glass, a special glass designed to filter out a lot of the visible light spectrum, leaving infrared or ultraviolet light to use in communications signals. It was particularly useful during World War 1. It is the glass used to make what is commonly called black light.
