Questions and Answers

What happens when a ray of light traveling from a denser medium to a rarer medium is incident at an angle greater than the critical angle?

  • It changes its color
  • It gets absorbed by the rarer medium
  • It slows down and then refracts
  • It gets reflected instead of refracted (correct)
  • What is the function of repeater stations in optical fiber communication?

  • Regenerate the optical signal and boost its speed (correct)
  • Prevent total internal reflection
  • Convert electrical signals into light signals
  • Amplify the light signal
  • What is the refractive index of the cladding in optical fibers?

  • Equal to that of the core
  • Unrelated to the core's refractive index
  • Lower than that of the core (correct)
  • Higher than that of the core

    Study Notes

    Total Internal Reflection

    • When a ray of light travels from a denser medium to a rarer medium at an angle greater than the critical angle, total internal reflection occurs.

    Optical Fiber Communication

    Repeater Stations

    • Repeater stations in optical fiber communication amplify the signal to compensate for attenuation, ensuring continuous signal transmission.

    Optical Fiber Structure

    Refractive Index

    • The refractive index of the cladding in optical fibers is lower than that of the core.

    Speed of Light

    • The speed of light in the optical fiber core is slower than its speed in a vacuum due to the denser medium.

    Long-Distance Transmission

    • Optical fiber cables are used for long-distance transmission of communication signals because they offer low attenuation, high bandwidth, and signal security.
