Body waves

Explanation:

A shear wave(S-wave) is a type of seismic body waves that shakes the ground back and forth perpendicular to the direction the wave is moving.

  • Seismic waves are elastic waves usually generated when there is a disturbance within the earth.
  • There are two types of seismic waves:

                 Surface waves

                  Body waves

  • Body waves travel within the earth and they cause disturbances there. P and S waves are the two types of body waves that we have.
  • Surface waves travels on the earth surface. They are the love and rayleigh waves. They are the ones that cause destruction on the earth surface during an earthquake.

Effectus [21]

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.
