Assertion (A): Optical fibres are widely used in communication network.
Reason (R): Optical fibres are small in size, lite weight, flexible and there is no scope for interference in them.

A

Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)

B

Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)

C

(A) is true but (R) is false

D

(A) is false but (R) is true

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

Optical fibres are used in communication network as it offers very large bandwidth, avoid interference and wavelength of light is very small when compared to radio waves.
