Which of the following is NOT an application of Fiber optics?
Power Generation
Optical fibres carry light by total internal reflection through thin strands of glass or plastic, so they are used wherever light signals must be guided.
They are widely used in computer networking and telecommunication for fast data transfer, in sensors that measure temperature, pressure or strain, and in transmitting power or illumination as light to remote points.
Optical fibres only guide light; they cannot produce electrical energy, so power generation is not an application of fibre optics.
Hence, Power Generation.
