Summary
In the video, it is explained how fiber optic cables play a crucial role in the quick transmission of emails and information through a network of underground and undersea cables. These cables, made of a single filament as thin as a human hair, use the transmission of light to carry data. Through concepts like refraction and total internal reflection, fiber optic cables enable light to travel long distances without losing intensity, allowing for faster speeds, superior bandwidth, and immunity to electromagnetic interference compared to copper cables.
