What frequencies of visible light are transmitted through a piece of glass if the glass appears purple?
No wavelenth.
The traveling of concentrated light through long tiny fibers of glass to carry sound is called what?
fiber-optic
Is fiber glass stronger than polycarbonate?
No.
Why should the light ray be reflected rather than refractive in fiber optics?
Firstly, a fiber optic cable transmits light from one end of the fiber optic cable to the other end. You can kind of think of the fiber optic cable as a long tube. The way in which light travels from one end to the other is that it gets reflected off the inside parts of this glass or plastic tube by a physical phenomenon known as: Total Internal Reflection. Refraction of light only occurs when light travels from one medium to another. For example, when light travels from air to water, from water to air, from water to oil, etc. In other words, in terms of fiber optics, the only way light will get refracted is if it passes through the glass or plastic tube. But if this happened, then the light will exit the fiber optic cable as it travels from one end of the cable to the other end, and the light would not be properly transmitted, defeating the purpose of fiber optics. In other words, light should be reflective rather than refractive in fiber optics in order for light to be effectively transmitted from one end to the other end of a fiber optic cable.
Can fiber glass be used near heat?
The glass fibre would be OK but the polyurethane resin is not heat resistant.
How is a message transmitted thru a glass fiber?
It's send in the form of a laser beam - which reflects internally.
Why do signals in the fiber optics cables travel at the speed of light?
fiber optics transfer data at the speed of light because that's exactly what is transmitted through them... light. fiber optic cables are thin pieces of glass that transmit light pulses
Is optical fiber ihollow or not?
The main part of an optical fiber is a glass fiber (NOT hollow) within another glass fiber of another type of glass. Both types of glass have a different index of refraction; the signal travels through the inner glass fiber.
Light travels through a thin glass fiber?
fiber optics
What is matter through which visible light is easily transmitted?
Glass?
What frequencies of visible light are transmitted through a piece of glass if the glass appears purple?
No wavelenth.
What frequencies of visibile light are transmitted through a piece of glass if the glass appears black?
No wavelengths.
How light travels in glass and in wood?
through opticle fiber
What color light is transmitted through blue glass?
Blue light. That's why the glass is called blue.
What are the principles of optical fiber cable?
Fiber Optic Cable is a thin glass cable in which data is transferred over via laser(s) that are shined through the glass media.
When light is transmitted through an object with a density different from air's such as glass it is?
Refracted. Hope this helped.
How do cables use light?
Do you mean fiber cables? If so, each glass fiber carries a beam of light which is modulated by the information being carried. These days the data is usually binary encoded before being transmitted.
