Fiberscopes are one of the most important Outcomes of the science of fiber optics. Fibers made of glass and
transparent acrylic plastic are capable of conveying light energy, and when thousands of these fibers are
combined in what is called a fiberscope, they can transmit images. The most common fiberscopes contain
about 750,000 fibers, each 0.001 centimeter, or 10 microns, in diameter. For certain uses, the diameter of the
fiber may be as small as 5 microns.

Fiberscopes have a wide range of applications. In the medical field, physicians use fiberscopes to examine
internal organs and as an aid in delicate surgeries. Miniature probes have also been developed to view
muscle fiber, skin tissue, and blood cells. Fiberscopes have also found varied uses in industry, particularly to
inspect or control operations in inaccessible areas. Bundles of fiberscopes fused together in a solid plate,
called a faceplate, are being used in the manufacture of television picture tubes and other cathode-ray tube
devices.
The most far-reaching applications of fiber-optic technology are in communications. Optical fibers carry
voice messages for telephone service. The sound of the voice is electronically broken down into thousands

of pulses per second, which causes a transmitting laser to send coordinated pulses of light through the
optical fibers. At the receiving end, the light pulses are converted to electrical signals and the voice message
is reconstructed. Light-wave communication systems can handle an immensely greater number of telephone
calls and television programs than the current system, and they will form the basis of the "electronic
superhighway" expected to crisscross the nation in the near future of the information age.
1. How do optical fibers carry voice messages?
A. By fusing bundles of fiberscopes into a faceplate
B. By converting electrical signals to light pulses
C. By sending coordinated electrical pulses through optical fibers
D. By using cathode-ray tube devices
