optical fibres are made out of materials with high refractive index, this ensures that the light is always reflected back inside the fibre..

Explain 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


Can electricity be transmitted through optical fibers?

No. Light is transmitted through optical fibers.

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.


What is the maximum voltage and current optical fiber can take?

Optical fibers transmit light, not electrical energy.


Can waves be sent down an optical fiber in the form of light?

Yes, waves can be sent down an optical fiber in the form of light. Optical fibers are specially designed to guide and transmit light waves over long distances with minimal loss. The light waves travel through the core of the optical fiber and are reflected off the walls due to total internal reflection, allowing for efficient transmission.


What is used to describe the light gathering or light collecting ability of an optical fiber?

Numerical aperture is used to describe the light gathering or light collecting ability of an optical fiber. It is a dimensionless number that defines the cone angle of light that can be accepted by the fiber. A higher numerical aperture indicates a greater ability to collect light.


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 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
