Is a key a reflection or a refraction?
refraction
How is refraction and reflection similar?
refraction and reflection are similar because *they both have to do with waves*
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.
What is the bending of light from one medium to another?
It is called refraction, but some material bounces off the light and it is called reflection.
What are different types of sound wave interaction?
diffraction, reflection, refraction
Is fiber optic cable related to refraction?
Not really. More to do with reflection and the critical angle which gets it to reflect for infinity .
How is refraction used in real life situation?
Fibre optic cables, which mean in broadband and sometimes long distance telephone calls (I think) hope this helps!
Is a key a reflection or a refraction?
refraction
How is refraction and reflection similar?
refraction and reflection are similar because *they both have to do with waves*
What is the difference between refraction and reflection?
the difference between refraction and reflection is that in refraction light bends and in reflection it is reflected
How is Reflection usfull in science?
When looking into the study of applications such as fiber optic cables where reflection is key. Although it is total internal reflection experienced (refraction) the science and technology is the same except you are not going through a change in media Jason MEng
Which is better reflection or refraction?
Refraction is better.
In fiber optic cables what reflects the light back into the core?
This is done by total internal reflection. It is the result of the fact that the inner glass and the outer glass have different indices of refraction (the outside glass has a lower index of refraction).

Is a light bulb an example of reflection or refraction?
It is refraction
How you can connect switch with fiber optic cable?
I will explain to you properly how you can connect the switch with a fibre optic cable. The ethernet switch provides the all network connection to the fibre optic cable so the ethernet cable plugs into one of the output ethernet ports on the switch provided by the fibre network.

It is called refraction, but some material bounces off the light and it is called reflection.
