optical fibre use the phenomenon of total internal reflection.In optical fibres glass of high refractive index is coated with a thin layer of glass of lower refractive index .the rays of light entering through its one end strickes the interference between the 2 glass surfaces at an angle greater than critical angle .this ray will be totally reflected along the whole length of fibre. light can thus travel the length of fibre and emerges from its another end without loss of intensity.

Well, there are lenses that help us see near and far. These are concave and convex. Concave lenses are curved inward on both sides (like a cave) and convex lenses have both sides curving outward. Concave make you see things smaller and convex make you see everything bigger.

Optical switches are a technology that operates on fiber optic lines to work similar to traditional electrical switches. There are two kinds of optical switches: slow switches which are operated by mechanical means which physically move an optical fiber. These are used as long-term routing solutions if there is a fault in the line. Fast switches are operated using magnetic technology to do logic operations (computations) on the optical lines.

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.


Is fiber obtics a good conductor of electricity?

No. An optical fiber is a slim hair composed of glass. Glass is a fine insulator, and an optical fiber doesn't conduct electricity at all.


Is optical fiber unidirectional?

The optical fiber can be used both as unidirectional and bidirectional. The main application of optical fiber is in long-distance links, so there exists no need to employ them as unidirectional. For each direction different wavelengths are used to modulat the signals. At the same time many bidirectional signals can travel through the same optical fiber.


What is an optical fiber?

#Optical fiber consist of a central core made of class or plastic which is surrounded by a cladding of material of refractive index slightly less than that of core and a protective jacket of insulating material. There are three types of optical fiber configuration.
