← ScienceWhich limitation primarily constrains data propagation rates in long fiber optic cables?
A)Chromatic dispersion broadens pulses✓
B)Bragg grating effects filter wavelengths
C)Modal birefringence distorts polarization
D)Raman scattering depletes signal power
💡 Explanation
As light pulses travel through fiber optic cables chromatic dispersion, occurs because different wavelengths travel at slightly different speeds causing pulse broadening ultimately limiting data propogation rates. Therefore chromatic dispersion broadens pules is the primary limitation. rather than other options which effect signal clarity or signal strength.
