Light waves carry optical fiber signals. These waves are typically in the infrared range and are able to travel long distances through the fiber without losing signal strength.

Which types of electromagnetic waves can be used to send signals along optical fibers?

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".


Can laser beams carry signals like radio waves?

Yes, laser beams can carry signals just like radio waves, but they are typically used in optical communication systems. Laser beams have a higher frequency and bandwidth compared to radio waves, making them suitable for high-speed data transmission over shorter distances through optical fibers.


Which EM waves can carry television signals?

Radio waves. Low frequency.


What method of signal transmission uses radio waves to carry signals?

The analog method of signal transmission uses radio waves to carry signals. Digital transmission involves the use of satellites to transmit signals.


Is A microwave signal is sent through space in the form of optical waves?

Microwave signals are being sent through space through electromagnetic waves and not through optical waves. This type of signal is being used mainly in communications because of its narrower beams compared to other signals.


Waves used for broadcastig radio signals are called what?

The waves used to broadcast radio signals are called RF waves and these generally lie in VHF and UHF band of electromagnetic spectrum.


What type of waves are used to carry signals?

Electromagnetic waves are commonly used to carry signals in telecommunications, such as radio waves, microwaves, and light waves. These waves can travel long distances and carry information encoded in their frequency, amplitude, or phase.


What are the advantages of using optical fiber instead of radio waves to carry signals?

see www.soe.ucsc.edu/classes/cmpe150/Fall05/lecture6.ppt for the answerAnswerThe biggest is less attenuation (degradation) of signal, so that a message can travel significantly further over an optical fibre than over a copper (twisted pair of coax) cable before it becomes too garbled to understand. In addition, fibre optic cables are generally immune to electromagnetic interference (such as strong electrical or magnetic fields) nearby, while copper cables can have such interference reduce or completely destroy their ability to carry signals. Finally, it is much easier to transmit on multiple channels (frequencies) over fibre than over copper, so a fibre optic cable can handle many more simultaneous message streams than twisted pair or coax. In short: fibre allows hugely greater distances between endpoints, is practically immune to outside interference, and can handle hundreds or thousands of times more signal channels than twisted pair or coaxial cable.


What do waves carry not matter?

because they just waves they are heavy most of the time


Which method of signal transmission uses radio waves to carry signals?

Wireless


What two things do waves carry?

Waves carry energy and information as they propagate through a medium. This allows them to transmit signals, transfer power, and create vibrations in various forms, such as sound waves and electromagnetic waves.


What do waves carry or transfer?

Waves can carry energy and information across space. The type of wave determines what exactly is being carried - for example, sound waves carry energy that we perceive as sound, while electromagnetic waves carry energy and information in the form of light or radio signals.
