With reference to Visible Light Communication (VLC) technology, which of the following statements are correct?
- VLC uses electromagnetic spectrum wavelengths 375 to 780 nm.
- VLC is known as long-range optical wireless communication.
- VLC can transmit large amounts of data faster than Bluetooth.
- VLC has no electromagnetic interference. Select the correct answer using the code given below:
Correct Answer: Option C
Visible Light Communication (VLC) uses the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum with wavelengths from 380 to 780 nm, which is the visible light range detectable by the human eye.
Statement 1 is correct.
VLC utilizes LEDs to simultaneously provide illumination and data transfer, eliminating the need for additional communication systems. This includes technologies like Li-Fi, which can modulate light at very high frequencies.
VLC is effective for data transmission but cannot penetrate obstacles like walls, making it unsuitable for long-range communication.
Statement 2 is not correct.
VLC can transmit data at rates ranging from Mbps to Gbps, which is significantly faster than Bluetooth's 300 kbps.
Statement 3 is correct.
VLC does not cause electromagnetic interference.
Statement 4 is correct.
Hence, the correct answer is C: 1, 3, and 4 only.
