30. Optical fibre works on the principle of total internal reflection. Light rays can be used
to transmit a huge amount of data, but there is a problem here – the light rays travel in
straight lines. So unless we have a long straight wire without any bends at all,
harnessing this advantage will be very tedious. Instead, the optical cables are designed
such that they bend all the light rays’ inwards (using TIR). Light rays travel continuously,
bouncing off the optical fibre walls and transmitting end to end data. It is usually made
of plastic or glass

Modes of transmission: Single-mode fibre is used for long-distance transmission,

while multi
mode fiber is used for shorter distances. The outer cladding of these fibres needs
better protection than metal wires. Although light signals do degrade over progressing
distances due to absorption and scattering. Then, optical Regenerator system is
necessary to boost the signal.

Types of Optical Fibres: The types of optical fibers depend on the refractive index,
materials used, and mode of propagation of light. The classification based on the
refractive index is as follows: l Step Index Fibres: It consists of a core surrounded by the
cladding, which has a single uniform index of refraction. l Graded Index Fibres: The
refractive index of the optical fibre decreases as the radial distance from the fibre axis
increases.

(i) Optical fibre works on the principle of:

(a) scattering of light. (b) diffraction of light.
(c) total internal reflection of light. (d) dispersion of light.

(ii) For long-distance transmission:

(a) single mode fibre is used. (b) multi-mode fibre is used.
(c) both single mode and multi-mode are used.
(d) any one of single mode or multi-mode may be used

(iii) Optical fibre is made of:

(a) copper (b) semiconductor (c) plastic or glass (d) superconductors
(iv) In graded index optical fibre:
(a) the refractive index of the optical fibre increases as the radial distance from
the fibre axis
increases.
(b) the refractive index of the optical fibre decreases as the radial distance from the
fibre axis
increases.
(c) the refractive index of the optical fibre remains same throughout.
(d) inner side of cladding is mirrored to ensure reflection.
(OR)
(v) Light signal through optical fibre may degrade due to:
(a) refraction. (b) refraction and reflection.
(c) diffraction and scattering. (d) scattering and absorption
