MCQ
The attenuation in optical fibre is mainly due to
  • A
    Absorption
  • B
    Scattering
  • C
    Neither absorption nor scattering
  • Both $(a)$ and $(b)$

Answer

Correct option: D.
Both $(a)$ and $(b)$
d
(d) A very small part of light energy is lost from an optical fibre due to absorption or due to light leaving the fibre as a result of scattering of light sideways by impurities in the glass fibre.
