Kevin Alfred Strom -- 11d Depends on the cable's structure. But it's perfectly legitimate to informally call a refraction at such a small scale a reflection. That's done even with the ionosphere. In any case, it addresses your question as to how light can be made to follow a curved path. AT&T did something similar on a much larger scale with their old Long Lines microwave repeaters, some of which were even passive. That was an investment of billions in something that would have been totally unnecessary if the Earth was flat -- which it's not. replyDepends on the cable's structure.

Absolutely retarded and no ounce of humility. If you can’t answer the questions I pose, then you should, atbest, be neutral on the stance. I bet he has gradually lost more and more friends as the years go by to hisstubborn arrogance. What a miserable way to live.
VHF radio signals travel in straight lines. They are totally blocked by soil, rocks, and bodies of water. If theEarth were a sphere, FM radio stations in Lisbon could not be heard in New York City. If the Earth were flat,they'd come in clearly there 24/7. Do your own experiment!
Light travels in a straight line too… yet fiber optics work great despite curvature of the lines.Hmmmmm
Every fiber optic cable is clad in reflective material that facilitates light reflection right around any turnor kink you might put into it.
