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:
4.2s
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Power = 2190W
Mass of box = 1.47 x 10⁴g
distance = 6.34 x 10⁴mm
Unknown:
Time = ?
Solution:
Power is the rate at which work is done;
Mathematically;
Power = 
Time = 
Work done = weight x height
convert mass to kg;
100g = 1kg;
1.47 x 10⁴g = 14.7kg
convert the height to m;
1000mm = 1m
6.34 x 10⁴mm gives 63.4m
Work done = 14.7 x 9.8 x 63.4 = 9133.4J
Time taken = 
= 4.2s
Answer:
p(a) * p(b) = .01923
p(b) = .01923 / .07692 = .2500
