← ScienceWhich limitation occurs when transmitting light through optical fiber?
A)Birefringence distorts pulse polarization✓
B)Chromatic dispersion reduces intensity
C)Rayleigh scattering causes attenuation
D)Bragg scattering generates harmonics
💡 Explanation
Signal distortion occurs because stress-induced birefringence alters light polarization states; therefore information might be lost, rather than chromatic dispersion that affects different wavelengths or scattering altering intensity.
