Answer:
D. because the light is reflected back into the fiber along its sides
Explanation:
The fiber is constructed in a way that the light is bent/reflected/refracted toward the center core of glass. So, from the center core, there is a layer above it that has a different propagation than the core, and above that the same thing. To give you a real world visual example, if you look down in a pool of water, then stick a straight stick into it, you see that the straight stick appears to bend. That is what is happening to the light as it travels through a different medium (air to water). This same effect is incorporated in the fiber optic cable construction.
Answer:
Snell's Law states
Ni sin i = Nr sin r
Judging from the question the source of the ray is in the water (directed up)
or NI = 1 / sin 49 Ni = 1.325 deg the critical angle
From inside the pond:
Nr = 1.325 * sin 45 / 1 = 94 deg
So refraction can occur outside the pond and you do not have total internal refection.
Answer:
a. b- x= y
dx = -dy
b. F = 
c. F = 
Explanation:
a. x components:

= 
Integrating and solving gives:
b- x= y
dx = -dy
b. the force is given by the equation derived from (a.):
F = 
c. Given that r>>a, the expression becomes:
F = 
Explanation:
When the size of the charge distribution is less than the distance to the deviation point of the charge then the charge distribution would produce the same effect such as a linear charge.
