Explanation:
Suppose you want to shine a flashlight beam down a long, straight hallway. Just point the beam straight down the hallway -- light travels in straight lines, so it is no problem. What if the hallway has a bend in it? You could place a mirror at the bend to reflect the light beam around the corner. What if the hallway is very winding with multiple bends? You might line the walls with mirrors and angle the beam so that it bounces from side-to-side all along the hallway. This is exactly what happens in an optical fiber.
The light in a fiber-optic cable travels through the core (hallway) by constantly bouncing from the cladding (mirror-lined walls), a principle called total internal reflection. Because the cladding does not absorb any light from the core, the light wave can travel great distances.
However, some of the light signal degrades within the fiber, mostly due to impurities in the glass. The extent that the signal degrades depends on the purity of the glass and the wavelength of the transmitted light (for example, 850 nm = 60 to 75 percent/km; 1,300 nm = 50 to 60 percent/km; 1,550 nm is greater than 50 percent/km). Some premium optical fibers show much less signal degradation -- less than 10 percent/km at 1,550 nm.

This can be answered using the beat frequency formula, which is simply the difference between 2 frequencies.
Let: <span>fᵇ = beat frequency
</span>f₁ = first frequency
f₂ = second frequency
fᵇ = |f₁ - f₂|
substituting the values:
fᵇ = |24Hz - 20Hz|
fᵇ = 4Hz
The unit Hz also means beats per second, therefore:
<span>fᵇ = 4 beats per second
</span>
Therefore, the answer is C. 4
Answer:
D. Because they are using space technology on a shirt so people can wear it on earth as well
Answer:
The correct answer is B)
Explanation:
When a wheel rotates without sliding, the straight-line distance covered by the wheel's center-of-mass is exactly equal to the rotational distance covered by a point on the edge of the wheel. So given that the distances and times are same, the translational speed of the center of the wheel amounts to or becomes the same as the rotational speed of a point on the edge of the wheel.
The formula for calculating the velocity of a point on the edge of the wheel is given as
= 2π r / T
Where
π is Pi which mathematically is approximately 3.14159
T is period of time
Vr is Velocity of the point on the edge of the wheel
The answer is left in Meters/Seconds so we will work with our information as is given in the question.
Vr = (2 x 3.14159 x 1.94m)/2.26
Vr = 12.1893692/2.26
Vr = 5.39352619469
Which is approximately 5.39
Cheers!
