State whether this statement is TRUE or FALSE. Justify your answer.
TRUE
SMF offer less pulse dispersion and hence less power loss compared to MMF.

68. Consider a black body with a wavelength of maximum emission 527 nm, at a fixed,
high temperature. Suppose the spectral power per wavelength at the wavelength of
maximum emission is 6.5 x 1010 W/m, the spectral power per wavelength at 400 nm
