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.

Answer:

Number of moles = 1.57 mol

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of propanol = 94.1 g

Molar mass of propanol = 60.1 g/mol

Number of moles of propanol = ?

Solution:

Formula:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

by putting values,

Number of moles = 94.1 g/ 60.1 g/mol

Number of moles = 1.57 mol

Ming has two unknown substances. One is nonpolar, and the other is polar.
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

Test for an odor. The nonpolar substance should have a higher volatility and stronger odor because of its London dispersion forces.

Explanation:

To help Ming identify the non-polar compound, assuming the non-polar compound will have an odor test for it and most importantly, the non-polar substance should have a higher volatility due to its London dispersion forces.

  • London dispersion forces are weak attractions found between non-polar molecules and noble gases.
  • They account for the reason why compounds as such are volatile

pav-90 [236]
According to one acid base theory the forward reaction is classified as an acid base reaction because H2S is a H donor and CH3NH2 is a H acceptor. 
According to the acid base theory; an acid is the proton donor or hydrogen ions donor while the base is the proton acceptor or hydrogen ion acceptor.

Answer: Mechanical waves can be Longitudinal or Transverse.

Explanation: So... a mechanical wave is a kind of wave that is a oscillation of matter. Mechanical waves can also transfer energy. However, while it still can transfer over long distances, the wave is limited. it means that the oscillation material is limited. A mechanical wave can be a transverse wave or a longitudinal wave or a surface wave. but since there is only Longitudinal or Transverse that should be your answer.

A transverse wave, its a wave that particles move up and down.

A Longitudinal wave is a wave that moves back and forth.
