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.

C is true, and just one of those has as much mass as about 1,840 electrons.
Answer:
The helicopter uses 35 gallons to fly for 5 hours.
Explanation:
The amount of gas that a helicopter uses for flying varies directly proportional to the number of hours spent flying.
g ∝ T
where g represents amount of gas and T time of flight.
Then,
The helicopter files 4 hours and uses 28 gallons of fuel.
Here, g₁= 28 gallons, T₁=4 hours
g₂=?, T₂=5 hours.
⇒28×5= g₂×4
⇒ g₂×4=28×5
gallons
The helicopter uses 35 gallons to fly for 5 hours.
Answer:
The correct answer is A The distance is greater in the first hour because her speed is faster.
Explanation:
During the first hour, Anna is driving at a speed of 50 km/h. During the second hour, she is only driving at a speed of 30 km/h. The faster she goes, the farther she will go.

Answer: 0.01 m
Explanation: The formulae for capillarity rise or fall is given below as
h = (2T×cosθ)/rpg
Where θ = angle mercury made with glass = 50°
T = surface tension = 0.51 N/m
g = acceleration due gravity = 9.8 m/s²
r = radius of tube = 0.5mm = 0.0005m
p = density of mercury.
h = height of rise or fall
From the question, specific gravity of density = 13.3
Where specific gravity = density of mercury/ density of water, where density of water = 1000 kg/m³
Hence density of mercury = 13.3×1000 = 13,300 kg/m³.
By substituting parameters, we have that
h = 2×0.51×cos 50/0.0005×9.8×13,300
h = 0.6556/65.17
h = 0.01 m
