Scattering Losses Quiz

What is scattering loss?

• Loss of signal strength due to amplification

• Loss of signal strength due to reflection

• Increase in signal strength due to scattering

• Loss of signal strength due to scattering

Give an example of scattering loss in everyday life.

• Heat scattering off a metal surface

• Light scattering off a mirror

• Sunlight scattering off dust particles in the air

• Sound scattering off a smooth surface

How does scattering affect the transmission of light through a medium?

• It causes the light to become more focused

• It causes a loss of transmission

• It increases the transmission of light

• It has no effect on the transmission of light

What are the factors that contribute to scattering losses?

• Velocity, acceleration, and force

• Temperature, pressure, and humidity

• Color, size, and shape

• Material impurities, surface roughness, and structural defects

How can scattering losses be minimized in practical applications?

• Increasing the scattering coefficients

• Using materials with higher scattering coefficients

• Not optimizing the design

• Using materials with lower scattering coefficients, optimizing the design, and using anti-reflection coatings
