LI-FI is a wireless optical networking technology that uses light-emitting diodes (LEDs) for data transmission. It is a variant of Wi-Fi that uses visible light communication and infrared instead of radio waves. LI-FI works by switching LEDs on and off at a very high speed, which is undetectable to the human eye. The LEDs can be switched on and off very quickly to transmit data by varying the rate at which the LEDs flicker. LI-FI provides higher speeds, more security, and less interference than Wi-Fi. However, it has disadvantages like light not passing through walls and an inability to provide uninterrupted internet without a light source.
