Assertion (A) : An EDFA is usually pumped at 980 nm

wavelength, which means that Erbium ions at ground
level absorb energy.
Reason (R) : This absorbed energy is transferred to
high frequency signals to boost up
ans:A
.Assertion (A) : Optical fibers have broader bandwidth
compared to conventional copper cables.
Reason (R) : Low power LASER beams are considered
to be very powerful as compared to high power ordinary
light beams.

Assertion (A) : In optical fibre communication, light rays are guided by the total internal
reflection at the interface between fibre core and cladding.
Reason (R) : The Refractive Index of core is large than the Refractive Index of cladding
ans:A
Assertion (A) : Optical fiber provides the attenuation of the order of 0.2 dB/km.
Reason (R) : Rayleigh scattering increases with the increase in the operating
wavelength.
ans:c
(A) : Stimulated emission is the key to the operation of
LASER.
Reason (R) : An important property of LASER radiation is its
coherence, under which is meant the correlation between the phases of oscillation at
different positions in space and at various moments of time
ans:B
(A) : A step graded junction is formed when there is an abrupt change from acceptor ion
on one side to donor ions on the other side.
Reason (R) : In step graded junctions,
donor and acceptor concentrations are unequal and these junctions behaves as
asymmetric junctions.
Ans:A

Assertion (A):
Reason (R) :
