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.
