How light is channelled down an optical fibre

coldgirl [10]

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.

A skydiver jumps out of a hovering helicopter. A few seconds later, another diver jumps out, so they both fall along the same ve

Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

distance difference would a) increase

speed difference would f) stay the same

Explanation:

Let t be the time the 2nd skydiver takes to travel, since the first skydiver jumped first, his time would be t + Δt where Δt represent the duration between the the first skydiver and the 2nd one. Remember that as t progress (increases), Δt remain constant.

Their equations of motion for distance and velocities are

$s_2 = gt^2/2$

$s_1 = g(t + \Delta t)^2/2$

$v_2 = gt$

$v_1 = g(t + \Delta t)$

Their difference in distance are therefore:

$\Delta s = s_1 - s_2 = g(t + \Delta t)^2/2 - gt^2/2$

$\Delta s = g/2((t + \Delta t)^2 - t^2)$

$\Delta s = g/2(t + \Delta t - t)(t + \Delta t + t)$ (As $A^2 - B^2 = (A-B)(A+B)$

$\Delta s = g\Delta t/2(2t + \Delta t)$

So as time progress t increases, Δs would also increases, their distance becomes wider with time.

Similarly for their velocity difference

$\Delta v = v_1 - v_2 = g(t + \Delta t) - gt$

$\Delta v = gt + g\Delta t - gt = g\Delta t$

Since g and Δt both are constant, Δv would also remain constant, their difference in velocity remain the same.

This of this in this way: only the DIFFERENCE in speed stay the same, their own individual speed increases at same rate (due to same acceleration g). But the first skydiver is already at a faster speed (because he jumped first) when the 2nd one jumps. The 1st one would travel more distance compare to the 2nd one in a unit of time.
