Name an application of the total internally reflected of light in the world of telecommunication?

It allows fibre optic cables to work thus transferring data over huge distances very quickly. That said it's not perfect and the signal strength still needs to be boosted at set intervals depending on the quality of the cable.

Why are thunderclouds black?

How is light used in fiber optics?
Light enter the optical fibre, and is totally internally reflected all the way along.
What are some practical applications of the reflection of light?
One very practical application is that it allows us to see things. Light, from whatever source, hits an object are is reflected. Our eyes perceive the reflected light and our brains translate that information into an image of the object. I would say that is a very practical application, wouldn't you?
What are 3 examples of light being reflected?
- light reflected from a window- light reflected from a mirror- light reflected from snow
Why is the size of the fiber important?
thats because if its to big the light might not refract exactly right and this may cause the information to be mixed up causing some of the light to be total internally reflected which destroys the message.
Is production of rainbow light reflected or refracted?
A reflected light would be light reflected by a mirror, and the light would remain unchanged. A reflected light of daylight is when white light is split into 'rainbow' colours.
Why the size of fiber optic is important?

What is a term that means reflected light?
The light which enters is called the incident ray and the reflected light is called the reflected ray.
How can a shadow be reflected?
It is actually impossible to reflect a shadow, as a shadow is merely an absence of light. However, what IS reflected is the light surrounding the shadow. When this light is reflected, it forms a reflected image of the light's shape, complete with a lack of light, or shadow. In this way, it can look like a shadow is reflected.
