Due to rising demand for higher bandwidth and faster speed connections, fiber optic transmission is becoming more and more common in the developing world. Optical fiber has had a great impact on the way we receive and transmit signals. They have largely replaced copper wire communications in core networks in the developed world, because of its advantages over electrical transmission. But they brought some difficulties as well.

Following are the advantages and disadvantages of optical fiber:

Advantages

  • They provide extremely High Bandwidth.
  • Optical fiber is capable of low power loss at long distances.
  • Optical fiber is highly resistant to electromagnetic disturbances. They are virtually error free.
  • The data is transferred through light that is why there is no security risk of data being detected.
  • Optical fiber has lesser weight and size as compared to other cables.

Disadvantages

  • They are made of glass that is why they are very fragile and they have to be handled carefully.
  • They are difficult to install. If you bend them too much, they will break. And fiber cable is highly susceptible to damage during installation or construction activities.
  • Extra optical components have to be added to handle dispersion of light at longer distances.
  • Optical fiber costs a lot more than copper cables. The installation itself is very costly.

Keywords: fiber optics, bandwidth, transmission, impact, advantages, disadvantages

What is the freezing point of radiator fluid that is 50% antifreeze by mass? k f for water is 1.86 ∘ c/m?
densk [106]
Ethylene glycol is termed as the primary ingredients in antifreeze.
The ethylene glycol molecular formula is C₂H₆O₂.
Molar mass of C₂H₆O₂ is = (2×12) +(6×1) + (216) = 62g/mol
Now that antifreeze by mass is 50%, then there is 1kg of ethylene glycol which is present in 1kg of water.
ΔTf = Kf×m
ΔTf = depression in the freezing point.
= freezing point of water freezing point of the solution
= O°c - Tf
= -Tf
Kf = depression in freezing constant of water = 1.86°C/m
M is the molarity of the solution.
=(mass/molar mass) mass of solvent in kg
=1000g/62 (g/mol) /1kg
=16.13m
If we plug the value we get 
-Tf = 1.86 × 16.13 = 30
Tf = -30°c

hi, Need help with triangle law of vector addition worksheet and a verifying Newtons second law worksheet?
Yuri [45]

Use Newton's second law and the free body diagram to determine the net force and acceleration of an object. In this unit, the forces acting on the object were always directed in one dimension.

The object may have been subjected to both horizontal and vertical forces but there was no single force directed both horizontally and vertically. Moreover, when free-body diagram analysis was performed, the net force was either horizontal or vertical, never both horizontal and vertical.

Times have changed and we are ready for situations involving two-dimensional forces. In this unit, we explore the effects of forces acting at an angle to the horizontal. This makes the force act in two dimensions, horizontal and vertical. In such situations, as always in situations involving one-dimensional network forces, Newton's second law applies.

velikii [3]

Answer:

\lambda=4L=1.33m

v=343m/s

Explanation:

We have to take into account the expressions

f=\frac{2n+1}{4}\frac{v_s}{L}\\L=(2n+1)\frac{\lambda}{4}

if we assume that 256Hz is the fundamental frequency we have

f=\frac{1}{4}\frac{v_s}{L}\\\\L=\frac{1}{4}\frac{v_s}{f}=\frac{1}{4}\frac{343\frac{m}{s}}{256Hz}=0.33m

and for wavelength

\lambda=4L=1.33m

hope this helps!!
