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.

There is an error in the rate-determining step of the following proposed mechanism.
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

The steps with correct mechanism are given below:

C

1) CH₄(g) + Cl(g) → CH₃(g) + HCl(g) : This is a slow step.

The rate is given as: R1 = k₁[CH₄][Cl]  

2) CH₃(g) + Cl₂(g) → CH₃Cl(g) + Cl(g): This is a fast step.

The rate is given as: Rate = k₂[CH₃][Cl₂]  

∴ CH₄(g) + Cl₂(g) → CH₃Cl(g) + HCl(g)

Here, the slowest step will be the rate-determining step.

What is the crystalline arrangement of atoms shown here?
mixer [17]

Answer: Answer:

"The arrangement of atoms or ions in a crystal " is described by the terms body-centered cubic and face-centered cubic.

Explanation:

Face centred cubic system explains the crystal structure where an atom is present at each cubic corner of the crystal  and the centre of each cube face. Meaningfully, a closed packed plane where at each "face of the cube" atoms touch the alongside face diagonals.

Whereas in body centric cube system has the lattice point present at the 8 corners of  cell and an additional one at the center of the cell. Thus, both explains how the atom or ions are  placed or arranged in a crystal.

Explanation: Hope this helps :)

An ideal gas is contained in a cylinder with a volume of 5.0x102 mL at a temperature of 30°C and a pressure of 710. Torr. The ga
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

51207 torr is the new pressure of the gas

Explanation:

We can solve this question using combined gas law that states:

P1V1T2 = P2V2T1

<em>Where P is pressure, V volume and T absolute temperature of 1, initial state and 2, final state of the gas</em>

<em> </em>

Computing the values of the problem:

P1 = 710torr

V1 = 5.0x10²mL

T1 = 273.15 + 30°C = 303.15K

P2 = ?

V2 = 25mL

T2 = 273.15 + 820°C = 1093.15K

Replacing:

710torr*5.0x10²mL*1093.15K = P2*25mL*303.15K

3.881x10⁸torr*mL*K = P2 * 7.579x10³mL*K

P2 = 51207 torr is the new pressure of the gas
