1. Explain about various dispersion mechanisms that are responsible for broadening of
signals in optical fiber. Also suggest the best optical fiber which gives least broadening
and justify your answer.
2. What is displacement current? Explain its physical significance. What are the
consequences of the introduction of displacement current density in Maxwells equation.
3. Compute the magnetic field for the following electric field E E0 cos(t z )i where
=/c.
