    What is the optical transmission path in a fiber optic cable?

    • Cladding

    • Coating

    • Core

    • Refractive index

    Correct Answer
    A. Core
    Explanation
    The optical transmission path in a fiber optic cable is the core. The core is the innermost part of the cable and is responsible for carrying the light signals. It is made of a highly transparent material, usually glass or plastic, and has a higher refractive index than the cladding surrounding it. This higher refractive index allows the light signals to be transmitted through the core by bouncing off the walls of the cladding through a process called total internal reflection. The core is protected by a coating, which provides additional protection and insulation.

    What is the bouncing of light from an object?

    • Refraction

    • Reflection

    • Refractive index

    • Angle of incidence

    Correct Answer
    A. Reflection
    Explanation
    Reflection is the bouncing of light from an object. When light hits a surface, it can bounce back in the same direction it came from, which is known as reflection. This phenomenon occurs when the surface is smooth and shiny, such as a mirror. The angle at which the light hits the surface, known as the angle of incidence, is equal to the angle at which it bounces off, known as the angle of reflection. Reflection is an important property of light and is responsible for allowing us to see objects that do not emit light themselves.

    What is the bending of light as it passes through materials of different density?

    • Reflection

    • Refraction

    • Angle of incidence

    • Refractive index

    Correct Answer
    A. Refraction
    Explanation
    Refraction is the bending of light as it passes through materials of different density. When light travels from one medium to another, such as from air to water or from water to glass, it changes direction due to the change in speed. This change in direction is known as refraction. The amount of bending depends on the refractive index of the materials involved.

    How much will a horizontal polarized wave rotate the E and H fields?

    • 90 degrees

    • 180 degrees

    • 360 degrees

    • 45 degrees

    Correct Answer
    A. 90 degrees
    Explanation
    A horizontal polarized wave will rotate the E and H fields by 90 degrees. This means that the electric field vector will be perpendicular to the magnetic field vector. This rotation occurs because the wave is propagating in a horizontal direction, causing the electric field to oscillate vertically and the magnetic field to oscillate horizontally.

  • 6. 

    What is the ratio of light's speed in a vacuum to its speed in a medium?

    • Reflection

    • Refractive index

    • Refraction

    • Angle of incidence

    Correct Answer
    A. Refractive index
    Explanation
    The refractive index is a measure of how much light slows down when it enters a medium compared to its speed in a vacuum. It is defined as the ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum to its speed in the medium. Therefore, the correct answer is refractive index.

    What part of a fiber optic cable provides the reflective surface that allows light to propagate to the distant end?

    • Core

    • Cladding

    • Coating

    • Normal

    Correct Answer
    A. Cladding
    Explanation
    The cladding is the part of a fiber optic cable that provides the reflective surface. It is a layer of material surrounding the core of the cable, with a lower refractive index than the core. This difference in refractive index causes the light to be reflected back into the core, allowing it to propagate to the distant end of the cable.
