Why does the light bend as it passes from air to glass or from glass to air?
This is due to the difference in optical density.
Is fiber obtics a good conductor of electricity?
No. An optical fiber is a slim hair composed of glass. Glass is a fine insulator, and an optical fiber doesn't conduct electricity at all.
What materials are optical lenses made from?
Plastic, glass, polycarbonate.
Which process causes a metal spoon to appear split of broken in a glass of water?
optical effect
Why does a diamond sparkle more than a glass imitation cut to the same shape?
A diamond's refractive index is quite a bit higher. This means that incoming light rays are bent at different angles, which changes the optical properties quite a bit.
What properties of glass make it useful for communication via optical fibers?
qsd
What properties of glass make it particularly useful for communication via optical fiber?
qsd
What is an optical fiber made from?
Glass, very pure glass.
Are HCS optical fibers smaller than glass optical fibers?
false!
What are the compounds that change the properties of glass?
What compounds Change the properties of glass?
What are some properties of soda glass?
the properties ofa soda glass
What is inside optical fibers?
Mirrored glass
What are optical fibers made of?
Good optical fiber is made of glass, but inexpensive fiber is sometimes made of plastic.
What has the author Francis W Glaze written?
Francis W Glaze has written: 'Optical glass at the National Bureau of Standards' -- subject(s): Optical glass
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.
Does an electric current reflect or refract light?
No. An electric current has magnetic properties,but not optical properties.
What type of scientist would study glasses?
A physicist may study the optical properties of glass and other transparent materials. But the type of glasses you wear on your nose are usually not handled by scientists, but by opticians.
