which can oscillate in all possible frequencies. 2. An oscillating particle can have a set of energies ,which are the integral multiples of a
lowest finite quanta of energy(h i.e: E = n.h ,where n = Quantum number. 3. The oscillating particles absorb or emit energy in discrete units of h , only when they
undergo transitions between any two allowed energy states.
Planck s law of radiation is given by d = ๐ โ d โฆโฆโฆโฆโฆ

Drift velocity(๐ ) is the average velocity with which the free electrons drift in a direction opposite to that of the applied electric field

Relaxation time(๐๐) is time during which the drift velocity is reduced to of
its velocity when the field is cut off. Because,the net flow of electrons across any cross section is zero as the electrons movie in different directions due to thermal velocity in the absence of external electric field.

3) An electron distorts the lattice due to electrostatic attraction when it approach a positive ion lattice, Smaller the mass of the ion distortion is more.
4) The oscillatory distorted lattice is quantized in terms of phonons . 5) This distorted lattice attract another electron by reducing its energy. 6) Thus the second electron attracts the first electron through lattice. This results in the pairing of two
electrons called Cooper Pair . The attraction between the electrons is maximum when the two electrons have equal and opposite spin and momentum.
7) The formation of cooper pair is considered as emission and absorption of the phonon by the two electrons as shown in the diagram.
8) The cooper pair formation begins at critical temperature TC and is completed at 0K. 9) Thus at 0K all the electrons are paired in to ordered cooper pairs, which can pass through lattice
without collisions when a potential difference is applied. This explains the zero resistivity of superconductors.
10) When the temperature increases the breaking of the cooper pairs begin beyond 0K and completed at TC as a result the superconductor attains normal state.

Attenuation is the loss of power of light signal as it is guided along the fibre. Attenuation is measured in terms of dB/km. There are three types of attenuations in the fibre namely: 1. Absorption losses are the losses due to impurities & material itself and they are
two types namely a) Impurity losses are the losses due to the impurities(Cu, Fe, etc) present in the
fibre, which can be minimised by taking care during manufacture of the fibre. b) Intrinsic losses are the losses due to the material itself, these losses decreases with the
increase of wavelength. 2. Scattering losses are the losses due to imperfections of the fibre called Rayleigh scattering losses
which varies inversely as the . 3. Radiation losses are the losses are two types namely:-
a) Microscopic losses are the losses due to non-linearity of the fibre axis ,which can be minimized by providing compressible jacket & taking care during manufacture of the fibre.
