yes, the ability of light to travel through the cable is what makes it useful. There is not some sort of hole in the center of the cable, it is a solid glass cable.
Data travels through a fiber optic cable using light signals. These signals are sent through the cable as pulses of light, which represent the data being transmitted. The light signals bounce off the walls of the cable, allowing the data to travel quickly and efficiently over long distances.
Light travels through fiber optic cable by bouncing off the walls of the cable in a process called total internal reflection. The factors that influence its transmission include the quality of the cable material, the purity of the light source, the distance the light travels, and any obstacles or bends in the cable that may cause signal loss.
basically, the cable uses something called the critical angle, to keep light inside it. This means the cable can be bent while still allowing light to travel through it.
Internal reflection
light enters the fiber optic wire at what is known as a critical angle. As the light bounces off the inside of the wire it does so at or above the critical angle and thus it cannot escape the fiber optic wire. the reason for this phenomena is because the medium of the wire is more dense then that of the medium outside the wire.
No, water will not pass through the core of a fiber optic cable. The core is designed to carry light signals for data transmission, and any water infiltration could disrupt the signal transmission process and damage the cable.
mode means path, the way in which light travel, in the fiber means angle in multi mode fiber light can travel in more then one angle so it is called multi mode fiber. but in single mode fiber there is dedicated path or single path through which light beam/source can travel.
A fiber optic cable is a thin glass wire that transmits light signals to carry data over long distances. The light signals travel through the core of the cable by constantly reflecting off the walls of the glass. Fiber optics are commonly used in telecommunications and networking for their high speed and efficiency in transmitting data.

Yes, electricity can be transmitted through light using technologies like fiber optics. In fiber optics, light signals are used to carry data over long distances by transmitting light through a thin fiber optic cable. This allows for fast, efficient, and secure data transmission.
Light is used to carry data in fiber optics through total internal reflection. The core of the fiber optic cable is made of a material that allows light to pass through it without escaping. The light signals are transmitted through the core, bouncing off the walls due to the principle of total internal reflection, allowing data to travel long distances quickly and efficiently.
