← ScienceWhich mechanism causes increased signal latency across transatlantic subsea fiber cables?
A)Chromatic dispersion causes pulse broadening✓
B)Electromagnetic interference causes signal corruption
C)Increased temperature raises waveguide impedance
D)Cable aging increases signal attenuation
💡 Explanation
Chromatic dispersion causes varying wavelengths to travel differing speeds across the fiber, causing pulse broadening; therefore latency increases because signals become less distinct, rather than EMI or other temperature-related effects.
