The making of glass is a very old industry—at least 4 500 years old. Glass has many extraordinary qualities and it is frequently being used in new ways.
One of the most interesting new uses for glass is in telephone communication Scientists have developed glass fibres as thin as human hair which are designed to carry light signals. When the light reached the other end, it is first changed into electrical signals, which are in turn converted into sound messages.
Called light wave communication, the new system was used successfully in an experiment in Chicago in 1977. During the experiment, two glass fibres were able to carry 672 conversations at the same time. The lightwave cable, containing 144 glass fibres, has the capacity to carry 50 000 conversations at the same time.
The lightwave communication system has two important advantages. First, the glass fibre cables are smaller and weigh less than copper cables. Second, they cost less. Perhaps it can be said that telephone communication has entered the age of light.
From the passage, we can tell that people prefer glass fibre cables to copper cables because______.
选项
A、glass fibres are less expensive
B、glass fibres are easier to make
C、glass fibres deliver messages directly
