Answer:

x=0.017 AU  

Explanation:

We can use the equation of speed in terms of distance. We know that the speed of light is constant value so we will have:

v=\frac{x}{t}

x=v*t

x=3*10^{8}*8.417  

x=2.53*10^{9}m  

Now we know that 1 AU = 1.496*10^{11}m

x=0.017 AU  

I hope it helps you!

Think about the way optical fibers are designed. why are the ends of the fibers glowing very brightly while the sides of the fib
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.
