← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when imperfections in optical fiber cause modal dispersion?
A)Reduced data transmission bandwidth✓
B)Increased signal to noise ratio
C)Enhanced core refractive index
D)Decreased cladding light leakage
💡 Explanation
Modal dispersion broadens optical pulses via intermodal interference, because different modes travel various distances with varying propagation speeds; therefore the data rate capacity is reduced rather than noise decreasing or refraction altering properties.
