NEET2005PhysicsSemiconductorsActual
Assertion : A diode lasers are used as optical sources in optical communication. Reason : Diode lasers consume less energy.
Options
- AIf both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion
- BIf both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion
- CIf assertion is true but reason is false
- DIf both assertion and reason are false.
Correct answer
B. If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion
Step-by-step solution
In optical communication, a semiconductor bases laser (diode laser) is used to generate analog signals or digital pulses for transmission through optical fibres. The advantages of diode lasers are their small size and low power input.
