Question

Which best explains how fiber-optic technology has improved communication?

It has eliminated the need to send audio data through telephones.
It has allowed for faster transmission of Internet signals.
It has increased the speed at which light travels through space.
It has reduced society’s reliance on devices such as computers and cell phones.

Answer 1

Answer;

It has allowed for faster transmission of Internet signals.

Step-by-step explanation;

• Fiber optics technology is a technology that uses glass threads to transmit data. A fiber optic cable is made of a bundle of glass threads each capable of transmitting messages modulated onto light waves.

This technology has a number of advantages over electrical transmission which includes;

• Extremely high band width; it can transmit a higher volume of data per unit time compared to other means.
• Long distance; data can be transmitted over long distance compared to copper cables.
• It has allowed faster transmission of data such as internet signals.
• Low security risk and
• Resistance to electromagnetic interference among others.

Answer 2

In fiber-optic technology, optic fibers are being utilized in the transmission of light in between fiber ends. This improves communication for the reason that it can transmit signals in longer distances and higher bandwidths. In this case, the answer that supports this is the third option: the speed is increased as light travels through space.
