Question:

The Rayleigh scattering loss, which varies as ………  in a silica fiber.

Show Hint

- Scattering loss in optical fibers follows \(\lambda^{-4}\), meaning shorter wavelengths scatter more.

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Understanding Rayleigh scattering. - Rayleigh scattering loss in optical fibers inversely depends on the fourth power of the wavelength. Step 2: Selecting the correct option. Since Rayleigh scattering follows \(\lambda^{-4}\), the correct answer is (C).
