Fibre optics, which now is very much part of the world we inhabit, is present in medicine, in the form of tiny cameras used in surgery,and in communications for high speed data transmission. On which the internet relies.
The physics behind it are, the cable is made from fine strands of glass covered in plastic and then wrapped in an outer cover of more durable plastic.
The function of Fibre optic cable is to transmit information, at high speed, by means of a beam of light, from one end of the cable to the other, maintaining the highest quality possible.
This is achieved by way of refraction and critical angles.
