Q. Assertion Microwave communication is preferred over optical communication.
Reason Microwaves provide large number of channels and bandwidth compared to optical signals.

Communication Systems

Solution:

Microwave communication is preferred over optical communication because microwaves provide large number of channels and wider bandwidth compared to optical signals as information carrying capacity is directly proportional to bandwidth. So, wider the bandwidth, greater the information carrying capacity.
