When is total internal reflection used in real life?
Total internal reflection is used in fiber optic communication systems, where light signals are transmitted through optical fibers by reflecting off the inner walls due to total internal reflection. It is also used in prism-based devices like binoculars and periscopes to redirect light and form images. Additionally, total internal reflection is utilized in diamond jewelry to enhance its brilliance and sparkle.
Is endoscope the same as cystoscope?
No, an endoscope is a general term for a flexible tube with a light and camera used for visualizing internal organs, while a cystoscope is a type of endoscope specifically designed for examining the bladder and urethra.
What is the minimum index of refraction for a glass or plastic prism to be used in binoculars so that total internal reflection occurs at 45 degrees?
The minimum index of refraction for total internal reflection at a 45-degree angle is 1.41. This means that the glass or plastic prism would need to have an index of refraction greater than or equal to 1.41 to achieve total internal reflection at that angle.
When is total internal reflection used for carrying images?
Total internal reflection is used in fiber optics to transmit data - usually as ones and zeroes. This data can represent any type of information - text, voice, images, video, executable programs, etc.
What was used for almost s century to see internal body structures?
X - rays.
When is total internal reflection used to carry light?
It is used in optical fibers. It is also the reason we see a rainbow and why diamonds have their brilliance.
What are highly technical apparatus used to diagnosed diseases of the internal organs?
The endoscope; colonoscope; colposcope. Can't remember more
What are the uses of TIR?
TIR stands for Total Internal Reflection and it can be used for means of communications via internet or broadband. Also, it can be used for different kinds of Surgery.
What is panendoscopy?
A panendoscopy can be used in general terms as an endoscope (a flexible, typically fiber optic instrument used for viewing internal organs) used for wide-angle viewing. The more common definition of penendoscopy the use of an endoscope for viewing the bladder. See related link below.
What instrument is used to view the stomach and esophagus?
An endoscope is used to view the stomach and esophagus through a procedure called an endoscopy. It is a flexible tube with a light and camera on the end that is inserted through the mouth and into the digestive tract to provide internal images for diagnosis and treatment.
What name is given to an optical fibre used by a doctor to look inside the body?
Endoscope.
How is total internal reflection used in endoscopes?
Endoscopes are made from fibre optic cables which have a greater refractive index than that of their surroundings. Therefore light is refracted away from the normal as it passes from one medium to another. The fibres have to be made of special glass, and each fibre has to be coated with a layer of glass of a different refractive index. At a certain angle, no refraction takes place and the light is only reflected. This is called the 'critical angle'. The light is then said to have undergone the principle of total internal reflection. Close to 100% of the incident light is reflected making it more efficient than the most superior of conventional mirrors. Fibre optic cables use this notion as the light enters the fibre. As it enters it is totally internally reflected until it exits out the other end of the fibre.
