LiFi is a visible light communication technology that uses light from LED bulbs to transmit data. It works by varying the intensity of light faster than what the human eye can perceive. The light can be detected by a photodiode that converts light signals into electrical signals to transmit data such as text, audio, video wirelessly. LiFi has applications in traffic lights, hospitals, airlines, offices and provides advantages such as larger bandwidth and energy efficiency compared to traditional WiFi. However, it also has disadvantages like not working in darkness and light not passing through objects.
