Consider telecommunication through optical fibres. Which of the following statements is not true?

  • Optical fibres can be of graded refractive index

  • Optical fibres are subjected to electromagnetic interference from outside

  • Optical fibres have extremely low transmission loss

  • Optical fibres may have homogeneous core with a suitable cladding


B.

Optical fibres are subjected to electromagnetic interference from outside

Some of the characteristics of an optical fibre are as follows:

(i) It works on the principle of total internal reflection.

(ii) It consists of core made up of glass/silica/plastic with refractive index n1, which is surrounded by a glass or plastic cladding with refractive index n2 (n2 > n1).The refractive index of cladding can be either changing abruptly or gradually changing (graded index fibre).

(iii) There is a very little transmission loss through optical fibres.

(iv) There is no interference from stray electric and magnetic fields to the signals through optical fibres.
