Lesson 5.3 Using Light

Question 8 • Reed Fall 2026 Physical Science 2nd Semester (7th Hour)

Which is a use of fiber optics?

Answer
A
correcting vision problems
B
transmitting telephone signals
C
gathering light from distant objects
D
writing and reading CDs and DVDs

Explanation

Fiber-optic cables carry information as pulses of light through thin strands of glass or plastic. Telephone networks use these cables to transmit calls and data over long distances, so “transmitting telephone signals” is the correct choice. The other choices describe uses of lenses or optical devices, not the main use asked about here.
