Find the
maximum speed in fiber optic links

Introduction:
Speed of light
varies in different mediums. That is why light breaks
when it passes from one medium to the other. Fiber
optics are often made of some type of glass, however
clear plastic fibers can also be used to transmit light
or light signals for short distances. |

Project
description:
In this project you will use devices such as an oscilloscope and
a signal generator to measure the speed of light in fiber. You
may perform this test for different types of fibers including
glass, nylon, acrylic and polyethylene fibers.
*An
oscilloscope is a fairly expensive device. This experiment is
only recommended for students who have access to an oscilloscope
through their parents or their school.
