Why are fibers birefringent

Chemistry
2 answers:
DanielleElmas [232]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Because of the chemical makeup of the fiber.

Explanation:

The birefringence is the difference between the refractive index of a fiber in a direction at parallel to the fiber axis and in a direction at right angles. It is caused by asymmetric core shape for the two axes, and majorly one of the manufacturing imperfections. It helps in controlling polarization property inside the fiber.

Inevitable manufacturing imperfections in optical fiber leads to birefringence, which is one cause of pulse broadening in fiber-optic communications. Such imperfections can be geometrical (lack of circular symmetry), due to stress applied to the optical fiber and/or due to bending of the fiber.

Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

119.7 mL.

Explanation:

  • From the general law of ideal gases:

<em>PV = nRT.</em>

where, P is the pressure of the gas.

V is the volume of the container.

n is the no. of moles of the gas.

R is the general gas constant.

T is the temperature of the gas (K).

  • For the same no. of moles of the gas at two different (P, V, and T):

<em>P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂.</em>

  • P₁ = 100.0 mmHg, V₁ = 1000.0 mL, T₁ = 23°C + 273 = 296 K.
  • P₂ = 1.0 atm = 760.0 mmHg (standard P), V₂ = ??? mL, T₂ = 0.0°C + 273 = 273.0 K (standard T).

<em>∴ V₂ = (P₁V₁T₂)/(T₁P₂) </em>= (100.0 mmHg)(1000.0 mL)(273.0 K)/(296 K)(760.0 mmHg) =  121.4 <em>mL.</em>
