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 skywave propagation?
the propagation in which transmission and receiving of signals takesplace through the sky waves which having the lower frequency
What it sound propagation?
Sound is a sequence of waves of pressure which propagates through compressible media such as air or water. (Sound can propagate through solids as well, but there are additional modes of propagation). During their propagation, waves can be reflected, refracted, or attenuated by the medium. The purpose of this experiment is to examine what effect the characteristics of the medium have on sound.
What can waves be describe as?
waves can be described as the pattern of energy propagation through a media.
What is linear propagation of light?
Lignt being a wave must express the phenomenon of bending at the edges. But this is not easily observed. This is mainly because of the shorter wavelength of light. Hence we come to the conclusion that light never bends and always travel in straight lines. This is what we call rectilinear propagation of light. This was successfully explained by Young and Fresnel with the concept of half period zones. Also light waves considered as transverse in nature.
Which electromagnetic radiations can be transmitted through an optical fiber?
Visible light.
When is light a ray and when is it not?
Rays are used to model the propagation of light through an optical system
What is skywave propagation?
the propagation in which transmission and receiving of signals takesplace through the sky waves which having the lower frequency
How does a ixora Bougainvillea and flame of the forest grow?
Through vegetative propagation
What is meant by modes of propagation?
Modes of Propagation = different ways to continue and/or increase the number of a given species. Example: sexual reproduction.

What can waves be describe as?
waves can be described as the pattern of energy propagation through a media.
Are the seeds of plants a way of propagation?
You call the reproduction of seed plants mostly happens through a process known as apomixes. This is similar to sexual production in the animals.
What is marginal rays?
Marginal rays are the light that passes through an optical system that is away from the optical axis.

Do sound molecules move perpendicularly to the direction of wave propagation?
Sound molecules traveling through air is an example of a longitudinal wave. It moves parallel to the direction of wave propagation.
Why can't a sound wave travel through a vacuum?
It needs a material medium for propagation
How can a house plant be grown a sexually?
A house plant can be grown through vegetative propagation
