MCQ
The attenuation in optical fibre is mainly due to
- AAbsorption
- BScattering
- CNeither 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.
