Explain why there is total internal reflection in an optical fibres

Physics
1 answer:
Harlamova29_29 [7]1 year ago
6 0

The optical fibers are thin, thus, the light entering from one side of the wire surface has more chances to reflect back from the inside surface due to the larger angle of incidence.

The angle of the strike is large due to the small size of the wire and this angle is greater than the critical angle.

As the angle of the incident light on the inside surface is greater than the critical angle, thus, the total internal reflection of the takes place.

Hence, there are more chances of total internal reflection of light inside the optical fiber wire than the emergence of light through the wire.

A block of mass m=9.0 kg and speed V and is behind a block of mass M= 27 kg and speed of .50 m/s. The surface is frictionless, a
sammy [17]

Answer:

2.06 m/s

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of linear momentum, the sum of momentum before and after collision are equal. Considering this case where we have frictionless surface, no momentum is lost in the process.

Momentum before collision

Momentum is given by p=mv where m and v represent mass. The initial sum of momentum will be 9v+(27*0.5)=9v+13.5

Momentum after collision

The momentum after collision will be given by (9+27)*0.9=32.4

Relating the two then 9v+13.5=32.4

9v=18.5

V=2.055555555555555555555555555555555555555 m/s

Rounded off, v is approximately 2.06 m/s

what kind of weather would u assosiate with higher perssure system? How does the density, humidity and air motion compare to tha
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

Low pressure systems typically arrive with storms and clouds. Air motion is usually upwards, as heated are is less dense and more buoyant than cooler air. A high pressure system is typically cooler than its counter-part, and skies are usually clear. Low pressure systems carry more water vapor due to rising hot air cooling and condensing.

The 10-kg uniform rod is pinned at end
Anton [14]
Supposing that the spring is un stretched when θ = 0, and has a toughness of k = 60 N/m.It seems that the spring has a roller support on the left end. This would make the spring force direction always to the left 
Sum moments about the pivot to zero. 
10.0(9.81)[(2sinθ)/2] + 50 - 60(2sinθ)[2cosθ] = 0 98.1sinθ + 50 - (120)2sinθcosθ = 0 98.1sinθ + 50 - (120)sin(2θ) = 0 
by iterative answer we discover that 
θ ≈ 0.465 radians 
θ ≈ 26.6º

Gerry is looking at salt under a powerful microscope and notice a crystalline structure.what can be known about the salt sample
Natali [406]

Well, if the salt that Gerry's looking at under a powerful microscope has a crystalline structure, then that's saying that salt is technically a solid.

(I hope that this is an answer you were looking for)
