What are the advantages of fiber optic vs. standard switches for telephone systems?
This one is very easy. Fiber optics are the future, and everything else is just old fashioned. You will be able to get more done with fiber optics than with anything else.
What is the significance of the critical angle in the context of fiber optics?
The critical angle in fiber optics is important because it determines whether light can be transmitted through the fiber or not. When light hits the boundary of the fiber at an angle greater than the critical angle, it is reflected back into the fiber, allowing for efficient transmission of signals.
What is one advantage of using fiber optic cabling rather than copper cabling?
Fiber optics carry vastly more information than ordinary cables, for a given thickness of cable.
Why refractive index of core is lower than cladding in optlical fiber?
because in the fiber optics the transmission of the light waves are through core and cladding is to cover the core
How are fiber optics used?
Fiber optic cables transfer data signals in the form of light and it is faster than traditional electric cables. It is very helpful in good and speedy communication, network and broadcasting services.

What does LX-SM mean in the world of fiber optics?
SM=single mode,LX shown distance of transfer that is over than 4km for LX.
What is the physics behind the fiber optics in endoscopy how does it function?
In fiber optics something called total internal reflection occurs... this is where light enters the the glass tube and bounces along the inside. For this to happen there needs to be a coating of a material surrounding the glass fiber which is less dense than the fiber itself. The light has to hit the surface on the inside at a large enough angle for total internal reflection to occur, otherwise the light will leave the fiber. Because of this, the fibers can't bend beyond a certain point. In endoscopy fiber optics are used to direct light from a source into the area of the patients body that's being examined and also as a means of transmitting the image back up to the observer.
How do you boost a signal in fiber optics across a ocean?
The element Erbium is used to boost the light. Here is a link to a YouTube video that explains it far better than I could. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-DY_RT4fJ4&feature=youtube_gdata_player
Why are school shirts made from more than 1 fiber?
because school shirts need to be thick
When would optical fiber be used in ethernet lan?
When you need to cover distances longer than 200 meters. Also fiber optics is recommended when you have high load connection, for instance, between building, floors and so on.
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.
Why should the light ray be reflected rather than refractive in fiber optics?
Firstly, a fiber optic cable transmits light from one end of the fiber optic cable to the other end. You can kind of think of the fiber optic cable as a long tube. The way in which light travels from one end to the other is that it gets reflected off the inside parts of this glass or plastic tube by a physical phenomenon known as: Total Internal Reflection. Refraction of light only occurs when light travels from one medium to another. For example, when light travels from air to water, from water to air, from water to oil, etc. In other words, in terms of fiber optics, the only way light will get refracted is if it passes through the glass or plastic tube. But if this happened, then the light will exit the fiber optic cable as it travels from one end of the cable to the other end, and the light would not be properly transmitted, defeating the purpose of fiber optics. In other words, light should be reflective rather than refractive in fiber optics in order for light to be effectively transmitted from one end to the other end of a fiber optic cable.
