What is the difference between scattering and dispersion?
Scattering is the loss of signal strength due to impurities in the core material; dispersion is the distortion of a light wave pattern as it reflects off the core cladding.
Scattering is due to the refraction property diff erences in the core material; dispersion occurs when intervening material absorbs some of the signal.
Scattering is loss of signal strength due to physical factors outside the core; dispersion is the loss of signal strength due to impurities in the core material.
Scattering occurs due to an improper termination; dispersion occurs due to a poorly spliced cable.
Major causes of attenuation in fiber-optic cable can be characterized as scattering, dispersion, extrinsic losses, and _____.
Crosstalk
Interference
Fresnel reflection loss
Magnetic Induction
