Muhammad Azim - TUTORIAL 5 - Q
1. What is the position of the transmission media in the OSI or the Internet model?
Physical Layer
1) Twisted-pair
2) Coaxial
3) Fiber-optic cables
1) Light Guiding: the cladding helps keep light inside the core (the center of
the straw). Its like a mirror that reflects light back into the straw, making
sure it goes where its supposed to.
2) Preventing Spillage: without the cladding, light would leak out, like water
leaking from a straw. The cladding stops this from happening, ensuring
that most of the light reaches the other end without getting lost.
3) Protection : The cladding is like a protective shield around the core,
keeping it safe from bumps and environmental factors, just like a plastic
coating on a straw.
8. Name the advantages of optical fiber over twisted-pair and coaxial cable.
1) Less signal
2) Higher bandwidth
3) Noise resistance
Sky propagation radio waves radiate upward into the ionosphere and are then
reflected to earth.
In line-of-sight propagation signals are transmitted in a straight line from
antenna to antenna.
10. What is the difference between omnidirectional waves and unidirectional waves?
Omnidirectional waves radiate in all directions from a single point. They have a
spherical or donut-shaped radiation pattern, spreading the signal uniformly in
three-dimensional space.
