Q: Is it true or incorrect that fiber cables express data’s ones and zeros using light pulses?
- True
- False
Explanation: True. Data is sent across fiber optic lines as bursts of light rather than the traditional ones and zeros. Data is communicated by optical fiber connection using light signals, which may be modified to encode digital information to ensure secure transmission. The presence or absence of light pulses correlates to binary 1s and 0s, which enables high-speed and high-capacity data transfer across great distances with minimum signal loss. This is made possible by the fact that light pulses may either be on or off.
