The pin heads on common pins are larger and thus makes the reading more accurate when doing a reflection of light experiment.

Which expensive material has a high refractive index and can refract colours of light much better than glass?

Diamond (which is crystalline carbon). Moissanite is an SiC that challenges diamond in many respects, and since the synthetic version comes off patent in 3 or 4 years, it will be expected to be a much more common material, particularly in larger sizes. It has a higher refractive index than diamond.


Do Optical telescopes have poorer resolution than radio telescopes?

Not necessarily.


Does an optical telescope and a radio telescope of the same size have the same angular resolution?

No, they do not. The angular resolution of a telescope is determined by the wavelength of the radiation it is measuring and its diameter. Since optical telescopes detect shorter wavelengths than radio telescopes, they generally have better angular resolution for viewing fine details.


Resolution of an optical microscope better with natural light rather than artificial?

Oh, dude, that's like saying eating pizza is better with toppings than without. I mean, technically, natural light has a shorter wavelength which can provide better resolution in an optical microscope compared to artificial light. But hey, if you're cool with blurry images, go ahead and use that artificial light, no judgment here.


Do Radio telescopes have poorer angular resolution than optical telescopes because radio waves have a much longer wavelength than optical waves?

Yes, that's correct. The longer wavelengths of radio waves mean that radio telescopes have poorer angular resolution compared to optical telescopes. This is because resolving power is inversely proportional to the wavelength of the electromagnetic waves being observed.

Why is common pins better than optical pin in finding the angle of incidence?

Common pins are better than optical pins for finding the angle of incidence because they provide a more accurate and precise measurement due to their physical design and direct contact with the surface. Optical pins rely on visual alignment, which can introduce errors and inaccuracies in measurement compared to common pins.


Why are common pins better to use than optical pins in a reflection lab?

The pin heads on common pins are larger and thus makes the reading more accurate when doing a reflection of light experiment.


Why do non optical telescopes work better on earth?

They don't. All earth bound telescopes, optical or not, must deal with a number of issues. But what do you mean by "better"? A radio telescope is better suited to pick up radio waves than an optical telescope, but an optical telescope is better for visible light. They each serve their purpose better than the other.


What type of digital camera is better either with optical zoom or digital zoom?

Optical zoom is way better than digital zoom as digital only expands the picture. Optical zoom actually zooms in.


What is the latest technology in communications better than optical fiber?

submarine cable


Can a SATA optical drive be used Instead of an IDE optical drive?

Yes. But your computer needs to be properly configured for a SATA optical drive. Also, a SATA drive is better than a IDE drive.


Will plugging an optical audio cable directly into the stereo amplifier offer better sound quality than plugging it in from the television or not?

The optical cable would be the best choice.


Digital or optical audio cables which is best?

They are about equal in quality. Far better than the analog hookup.


What are the advantages of using optical zoom?

If you use an optical zoom, you can take pictures without getting really close to things. An optical zoom is better than a digital zoom, because an optical zoom does not cause pictures to be pixely or grainy, and digital zooms often do.


Why is a bowling ball bettter for knocking down pins than a ping pong ball?

The bowling ball is better for knocking down pins because it is larger and alson has a larger mass


Why is it better to use optical zoom rather than the digital one?

Because your ugly and I know it and you know it too


Is an optical mouse better than the old ball mouse?

Generally an optical mouse provides much better function than an older ball design mouse. The lack of an internal ball to move the mouse reduces the need for cleaning and build up do to the ball itself wearing down.
