    True
    False
       
3. Multimode and double mode fibers are the two types of fiber optics.
       
    True
    False

6. Law of reflection states ______________.
       
    Angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection
    Angle of incidence is equal to the angle of refraction
       
7. Attenuation in an optical fiber is caused by absorption, scattering, and bending losses.
       
    True
    False
       
8. In ____________ fibers, the refractive index of the core is uniform and undergoes an abrupt change at the core-cladding boundary.
