Consider telecommunication through optical fibres. Which of the following statements is not true?
- AOptical fibres can be of graded refractive index.
- BOptical fibres are subject to electromagnetic interference from outside.
- COptical fibres have extremely low transmission loss.
- DOptical fibres may have homogeneous core with a suitable cladding.
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Optical fibres are made of dielectric materials (glass or plastic), which do not conduct electricity. Therefore, they are immune to electromagnetic interference (EMI) from external sources. Statement (B) is false.
