Optical fibers are used both in medical and telecommunication purposes. Optical fibres are able to convey 100% of the light waves so they are used for seeing the internal organs of your body. Since they can transmit electromagnetic signals with such efficiency they are used for communications like underground cable and telephone wires.

What is the modern uses of refraction of light?

it is used in optical fibres for data transmission.


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".


How have optical fibers led to the use of visible light?

There seems to be some confusion here! Visible light was being used - to see things, for example - millions of years before optical fibres were invented!

What kind of light is used to carry information through optical fibers?

Typically, light in the form of laser beams is used to carry information through optical fibers. The laser light pulses encode data that is transmitted through the fibers in the form of light signals.


Where you can use optical fiber?

optical fibres work on the principle of total internal reflection.that is a long concept but easily available.because of this T.I.R the light transmitted through the wires is very small.so it can travel a longer distance(not necessarily rectilinear).so it finda application in medical surgery to get a view of the organs by inserting optical fibres through the wind pipe.it is also used to carry light to those materials that cannot be placed inside a spectroscope directly.they are also used for decoration purpose.the lamps with glowing hairs are good examples.


Why doesn't light escape from the sides of an optical fiber?

optical fibres are made out of materials with high refractive index, this ensures that the light is always reflected back inside the fibre..


Which kind of light is used to carry information through optical fibers?

Infrared & Microwaves are used to carry information through Optical Fibres. Infrared carries visible light Radio Waves & Microwaves carry telephony and computed data E.Akbay


Why are optical fibres flexible?

This is because they can carry more information than copper wire and alsoare less expensive to repair


Is it possible to make a product of fiberglass transparent?

No ,only translucent, the chopped fibres of glass scatter the light preventing optical clarity.

Why is air current used to separate cotton fibres from their seeds but not used to separate jutefibres?

We get cotton fibres from cotton balls that is cotton flowers. But we get jute fibres from the stem of the jute plant not from the jute flowers.
