Is it true that a DVD-ROM is a high capacity optical disc?

Yes. Although there are more high capacity disks out there.


Why do optical astronomers place telescopes at the top of mountains while radio astronomers put their telescopes in valleys?

Optical telescopes are placed high to avoid having to look through the thickest part of the atmosphere. Radio telescopes are place in valleys to avoid the effects of man-made electrical noise in the telescope.


Does a substance having high optical density have to have a high physical density?

It's not necessary. If a compound has high optical density, it means that it absorbs more light at the given wavelength than some reference compound. There is no simple relation between density of matter and optical density. Even more I am pretty sure you can find a lot of compounds with lower densities (of matter) but having high optical density.

What is electronic bottleneck?

Electronic bottleneck refers to the inability of electronic devices to process optical data at very high speeds. The term is used mostly when trying to justify the need to process ultra high speed data using all-optical devices without the need for optical-electrical-optical conversion.

What is optical energy?

Optical Energy, better known as Optical Power, is the converging strength of a lens. As an example a lens with a high Optical Power will have a wider range of view but less focal distance. A lens with low Optical Power will have a longer focal distance but less range of view.

What are optical fibers made of?

Good optical fiber is made of glass, but inexpensive fiber is sometimes made of plastic.


Why are big telescopes found on top of mountains?

The Earth's atmosphere provides interference to optical telescopes because the molecules in the air scatter and disrupt light. Many telescopes are placed at high elevation because the atmosphere is thinner and will cause less interference.
