Only light is used to send signals along optical fibres. That's why this type of fibre is described
as "optical". Fibres designed to conduct electrical signals are referred to as "wires".

How did Neil Armstrong get along with others?
Yes he did get along with them.
What are the Elements of optical fiber communication link?
If light meets the inner surface of the cladding (the core - cladding interface) at greater than or equal to Qc then TIR occurs. So all the energy in the ray of light is reflected back into the core and none escapes into the cladding. The ray then crosses to the other side of the core and, because the fiber is more or less straight , the ray will meet the cladding on the other side at an angle which again causes TIR. The ray is then reflected back across the core again and the same thing happens. In this way the light zig zags its way along the fiber. This means that the light will be transmitted to the end of the fiber. In reality the light which enters the fiber is a focused beam, consisting of many millions of "rays" behaving in a similar way. They all zig zag along the core of the fiber, crossing over each other, and filling up the core with light. A pulse of light traveling along the core of the fiber is really a bundle of these rays.

Along the Pacific Ocean. (West)
What does Cotton well to fools mean?
"To cotton" means to get along with -- you don't get along with fools well.
How do optical fibers allow light to travel along a bent tube?
internal shallow angle reflection
Explain the source of signals detected by the EMG electrodes?
Action potentials along the muscle fibers
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 has the author Juergen Anders written?
Juergen Anders has written: 'Evolution of polarization along a single mode fiber' -- subject- s -: Optical fibers
Which principle explains how fiber optics can transmit data in the form of light pulses over large distances with little loss in signal strength?
Optical fibers transmit signals over long distances by a process called total internal reflection. In this process, optical fibers bend light by bouncing pulses of light along their inner walls, which enables the pulses of light to travel quickly over long distances. For more information, refer to the related link below.
What is optical communication?
An optical fiber is a flexible, transparent fiber made of very pure glass (silica) not much bigger than a human hair that acts as a waveguide, or "light pipe", to transmit light between the two ends of the fiber. The field of applied science and engineering concerned with the design and application of optical fibers is known as fiber optics. 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 communication. Fibers are used instead of metal wires because signals travel along them with less loss and are also immune to electromagnetic interference. Fibers are also used for illumination, and are wrapped in bundles so they can be used to carry images, thus allowing viewing in tight spaces. Specially designed fibers are used for a variety of other applications, including sensors and fiber lasers.

How is a nervous system like a communications system?
Signals are sent along the nerves of your body to your brain, where they are interpreted. The brain may send signals back instructing muscles to contract or expand, causing one's arm or other appendage to move.
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
Chromosomes move along these fibers?
Spindle fibers
What structure forms in prophase along which the chromosomes called?
The answer is Spindle Fibers.
What is the difference between nerve and neuron?
A neuron is an individual cell in the PNS or CNS that can be excited and conduct impulses along its axon. A nerve is a bundle of multiple neuron fibers that each are carrying their own signals. They are protected by connective tissue. Eventually the neuron fibers diverge away from the nerve to reach their destination.
