Explanation:
Suppose you want to shine a flashlight beam down a long, straight hallway. Just point the beam straight down the hallway -- light travels in straight lines, so it is no problem. What if the hallway has a bend in it? You could place a mirror at the bend to reflect the light beam around the corner. What if the hallway is very winding with multiple bends? You might line the walls with mirrors and angle the beam so that it bounces from side-to-side all along the hallway. This is exactly what happens in an optical fiber.
The light in a fiber-optic cable travels through the core (hallway) by constantly bouncing from the cladding (mirror-lined walls), a principle called total internal reflection. Because the cladding does not absorb any light from the core, the light wave can travel great distances.
However, some of the light signal degrades within the fiber, mostly due to impurities in the glass. The extent that the signal degrades depends on the purity of the glass and the wavelength of the transmitted light (for example, 850 nm = 60 to 75 percent/km; 1,300 nm = 50 to 60 percent/km; 1,550 nm is greater than 50 percent/km). Some premium optical fibers show much less signal degradation -- less than 10 percent/km at 1,550 nm.

Answer:
Explanation:
The formula for this is
where F is the gravitational force, G is the gravitational constant, m1 is the mass of one object and m2 is the mass of the other object. We are looking for r, the distance between the centers of their masses.
Filling in:
and moving things around to solve for r:
Doing all that and rounding to the 3 sig fig's you need gives us a distance of 1.55 m
light waves. the other waves like gamma rays or infrared waves or radio waves are all not visible to the eye. light is the only thing out of those you can see.
Answer : The power absorbed by the bulb is, 0.600 W
Explanation :
As we know that,
Power = Voltage × Current
Given:
Voltage = 3 V
Current = 200 mA = 0.200 A
Conversion used : (1 mA = 0.001 A)
Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:
Power = Voltage × Current
Power = 3V × 0.200 A
Power = 0.600 W
Thus, the power absorbed by the bulb is, 0.600 W
If you are pushing the coin across the table at a constant rate, the friction of the table and the horizontal force of your hand pushing are equal, and the coin itself moves at a constant rate. If you push a coin and let it go, there is no horizontal force keeping the coin going. Friction slows the coin to a stop. In both cases, the gravitational downward pull of Earth is equally but oppositely resisted by the upward push of table on the coin.
