Question

The wavelength of the carrier waves in a modern optical fiber communication network is close to:
(A) 1500 nm (B) 600 nm
(C) 2400 nm (D) 900 nm

Answer 1

To minimise attenuation, wavelength of carrier waves is close to 1500 nm

Answer 2

The wavelength of the carrier waves in a modern optical fiber communication network is close to:

(A) 1500 nm

• The wavelength in optical fiber is approximately 1500 nm to minimize the attenuation.

• For transmitting information from one place to another, optical fibers are used.

• It is done by sending pulses of infrared light through an optical fiber.

• They help in the transmission of information over longer distances and at higher bandwidths.
