Title: Explain the electrical-to-optical conversion process.
Course: Telecommunications II (1006-II) > Section: Working with Fiber-Optic Cables

Explanation should include

- the four characteristics of light (i.e., speed, wavelength and frequency, movement, and amplitude)
- total internal reflection, attenuation, sources, and detectors.

Process/Skill Questions:

- What is the difference between reflection and refraction?
- How does light bend when it travels through different materials?
- How fast does light move in fiber optic technology?
- At what wavelengths does optical fiber operate?
- What is a media converter?
