Fiber optics are an important part of our modern internet. In these fibers, two different glasses are used to confine the light

by total internal reflection at the critical angle for the interface between the core (ncore = 1.482 ) and the cladding (ncladding = 1.44).
Suppose you wanted the largest angle at which total internal reflection occurred to be θmax = 5 degrees. What index of refraction does the cladding need if the core is unchanged?

Answer:

n_cladding = 1.4764

Explanation:

We are told that θ_max = 5 °

Thus;

θ_max + θ_c = 90°

θ_c = 90° - θ_max

θ_c = 90° - 5°

θ_c = 85°

Now, critical angle is given by;

θ_c = sin^(-1) (n_cladding/n_core)

sin θ_c = (n_cladding/n_core)

n_cladding = (n_core) × sin θ_c

Plugging in the relevant values, we have;

n_cladding = 1.482 × sin 85

n_cladding = 1.4764

What kind of organisms are able to convert sunlight into usable energy?
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

Photosynthetic organisms

Explanation:

The electromagnetic energy of sunlight is converted to chemical energy in the chlorophyll-containing cells of photosynthetic organisms. In eukaryotic cells these reactions occur in the organelle known as the chloroplast

Newton's Law of Cooling says that the rate of cooling of an object is proportional to the difference between its own temperature
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

\frac{dQ}{dt} =-hA\Delta T(t)

Explanation:Newton.s law of cooling states that the rate of cooling of an object is proportional to the difference between its own temperatures and temperature of its surroundings. Mathematically,

\frac{dQ}{dt} =-hA [T(t)-T(s)]\\

\frac{dQ}{dt} =-hA\Delta T(t)

where Q is the heat transfer

h is heat transfer coefficient

A is the heat transfer surface area

T is the temperature of the object's surface

T(s) is the temperature of the surroundings
