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.

Nitrogen has an average atomic mass of 14.00674. it has two isotopes, n-14 and n-15, with atomic masses of 14.0031 amu and 15.00

masya89 [10]

In this case, we are going to assume that there are 100 atoms to make things easier.

Let R% be the abundance of n-15. With this in mind, we calculate the abundance of n-14 to be 100%-R%

14.0031*(100-R)% + 15.001 * R%= 14.00674
In this case, we can delete or ignore the % sign since we do not want to carry it around, however, we need to keep in mind that the final answer is in %

14.0031*(100-R) + 15.001 * R= 14.00674
1400.31-14.0031R+15.001R=1400.674
0.9979R=0.364
R=0.3648

Then, the abundance of n-15 is 0.3648%

If two objects have the same density, they must have the same

Radda [10]

Answer:

no ,its not necessary tht two objects have same volume have the same mass because the density of the material they are made up of can be different. mass and volume areindependent, two objects with thesame volume can have differentmasses. Therefore, the objects can have different densities.

The pH pH scale for acidity is defined by pH = − log 10 [ H + ] pH=-log10[H+] where [ H + ] [H+]is the concentration of hydrogen

balu736 [363]

Answer:

2 51 × 10^-5mol/L

Explanation:

The concentration of hydrogen ions can be calculated using the formula below :

pH = -log [H+]

pH = 4.6

[H+] = ?

[H+] = Antilog (-4.6)
