It is made of glass or plastic and transmit signals in the form of light.

• fiber-optic cable

• coaxial cable

Commonly used for local area network (LAN)

• fiber-optic cable

• twisted pair

Radio waves travel through the lowest portion of the atmosphere

• Ground propagation

• Sky propagation

Radio waves radiate to the ionosphere then they are reflected back to earth

• Ground propagation

• Sky propagation
