What are 5 objects that can transmit light?
eyes, glasses, telescope, microscope, camera
Why are optical fibers often called pipes?
Fiber optic cables are flexible because they are made out of plastic that refracts light and keeps it inside the cable. The light pretty much bounces its way down the inside of the cable by passing through different layers of plastic that bend the light and keeps it moving towards one direction.
What is a substance that dose not transmit light?
An opaque object does not reflect light. Opaque objects absorb light.
What describes matter that transmits light but that but does not transmit an image?
transparent or translucent
What is the common name of polyhexanedioic acid diaminohexamide?
Light, flexible material, can be drawn into fibers and it takes dies well.
Can electricity be transmitted through optical fibers?
No. Light is transmitted through optical fibers.
What are strands of glass tha transmit digital data by pulses?
Fiber optic cables transmit digital signals as pulses of light.
Can elecricity be transfered by optical fibers?
No.The idea of optic fibers is to transfer light as in pulses of information.We use optic fibers during surgery too, and these fibers can carry high energy beams.Thought of mind:It is possible to convert electricity into light, transmit it through the cable and then use a solar-panel at other end to convert back to electricity again.The loss would most likely be great. The energy would need to be "packed" together in a tiny lazer beam. This beam would possibly burn through your Solar-panel at the other end.
By definition what is a fiber optic tree?
A fiber optic tree is a tree which transmits light through the means of transparent fibers in the form of pulses. This is the best definition for a fiber optic tree.
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.
How does information travel in fibre optic cables?
Fibre Optic Cable transmit data fast-traveling pluses of light. Another layer of glass, called "cladding" is wrapped around the central fibre and causes light to repeatedly bounce off the walls of the cable rather than leak. Optical fibers are very thin glass or plastic less than 1/10 the thickness of a human hair. Fiber-optic technology is now easily available to businesses in cities and states throughout the country, making Internet access via fiber-optic cables a powerful alternative to satellite.
Cables transmit signals as pulses of light over glass strands inside protected tubing?
Fiber-optic
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 the maximum voltage and current optical fiber can take?
Optical fibers transmit light, not electrical energy.
What cables transmit signals as pulses of light over glass strands inside protected tubing?
Fiber Optic cables carry data as light.
What uses fiber optic cables?
Optical fibers are utilized regularly as a way to transmit light between the two finishes of the fiber and find wide use in fiber-optic correspondences, where they allow transmission over longer separations and at higher transfer speeds (information rates) than wire links.
