1. What is the primary purpose of an optical fiber?
A. Conduct electricity
B. Transmit light signals
C. Amplify signals
D. Store data
Answer: B
Optical fibers guide light signals for communication purposes.
2. Which material is most commonly used for optical fiber cores?
A. Copper
B. Aluminum
C. Glass (silica)
D. Plastic only
Answer: C
Silica glass is widely used due to low attenuation and high clarity.
3. What does attenuation refer to in fiber optics?
A. Signal amplification
B. Signal loss
C. Signal reflection
D. Signal modulation
Answer: B
Attenuation is the reduction of signal strength over distance.
4. Which type of fiber has a small core diameter and supports single light
mode?
A. Multimode fiber
B. Single-mode fiber
C. Plastic fiber
, D. Coaxial cable
Answer: B
Single-mode fiber allows one propagation path, reducing dispersion.
5. What is the typical core size of single-mode fiber?
A. 50 microns
B. 62.5 microns
C. 8–10 microns
D. 100 microns
Answer: C
Single-mode fibers have very small cores to allow one mode of light.
6. Which device converts electrical signals into optical signals?
A. Router
B. Transmitter
C. Amplifier
D. Switch
Answer: B
Transmitters use lasers or LEDs to convert electrical signals into light.
7. What is the function of a photodetector?
A. Amplify signals
B. Convert light to electrical signals
C. Reflect light
D. Store light
Answer: B
Photodetectors receive optical signals and convert them into electrical form.
8. Which wavelength is commonly used in fiber optics?
A. 300 nm
B. 850 nm
C. 10 nm
D. 1 nm
Answer: B
850 nm is commonly used for multimode fiber systems.
, 9. What is dispersion in fiber optics?
A. Signal strengthening
B. Signal splitting over time
C. Signal amplification
D. Signal blocking
Answer: B
Dispersion spreads the signal pulse, affecting clarity.
10.Which tool is used to measure fiber length and faults?
A. Multimeter
B. OTDR
C. Oscilloscope
D. Power meter
Answer: B
An Optical Time Domain Reflectometer detects faults and measures
distance.
11.What is the purpose of cladding in fiber optics?
A. Increase weight
B. Protect core and reflect light
C. Conduct electricity
D. Store data
Answer: B
Cladding keeps light confined within the core through reflection.
12.What type of reflection keeps light within the fiber core?
A. Diffuse reflection
B. Total internal reflection
C. Partial reflection
D. External reflection
Answer: B
Total internal reflection ensures efficient signal transmission.
13.What is a common connector type in fiber optics?
A. RJ45
