Hi,
I am currently studying computer networks and I have been reading about how data is transmitted via copper wires and fiber optics.
I understand the very basics of computers, data, logic gates and binary code.
However, currently I am struggling to wrap my head around how data can be transmitted by copper/light? It just does not make sense to me!
Can someone shed light on this?
In: Technology
Copper is used to send electrical impulses that get translated into data.
Same.. with light for fibre optic. One end transfers data to a series of impulses and sends them, and then the other side receives them and re transmits them back to their original form (audio, video, file, etc)
This is the entire basis of how computers work, if you dont mind me asking, have you JUST started reading about computer networks and data transmission, or have you just ignored this part of it for a while?
