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.

How does light travel through fiber optic cable and what are the factors that influence its transmission?

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.
