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.

Electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength of 525 nm appears as green light to the human eye. The energy of one photon of this

Sedbober [7]

<u>Answer:</u> The energy of one photon of the given light is $3.79\times 10^{-19}J$

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the energy of one photon, we use Planck's equation, which is:

$E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}$

where,

$\lambda$ = wavelength of light = $525nm=5.25\times 10^{-7}m$ (Conversion factor: $1m=10^9nm$ )

h = Planck's constant = $6.625\times 10^{-34}J.s$

c = speed of light = $3\times 10^8m/s$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$E=\frac{6.625\times 10^{-34}J.s\times 3\times 10^8m/s}{5.25\times 10^{-7}mm}\\\\E=3.79\times 10^{-19}J$

Hence, the energy of one photon of the given light is $3.79\times 10^{-19}J$

]According to Schrodinger's work with electrons and their orbital paths, what can be determined about the electrons of an atom?

kumpel [21]

Schrodinger developed a famous equation that allows the solutions for electron wave functions to be found given a specific potential. For the case of an atom, Schroginger's equation allows the determination of electron wave functions. These wave functions tell us how electrons are distributed in space around the atom.

1. Imagine that you need to take a medicine that the doctor has prescribed for you. Explain why scientists who developed that me

ella [17]

Answer: The compound in medicines should be non polar.

It is important for any drug to be able to dissolve itself through the cell membrane which consists of a lipid bi-layer, in order to diffuse in the body and circulate biologically, performing its function.

Non polar compounds are lipid soluble and therefore can dissolve in the lipid layers.

Polar compounds are water soluble and fail to cross the cell membrane.

Therefore scientists need to be sure of using compounds that are non polar in nature so they pass through the cell membrane and enter into the blood circulation of the body and perform its due function.
