What is the abbreviation for DIRC?
Detection of Internally Reflected Cherenkov light
Why is light internally reflected in a raindrop?
Light is internally reflected in a raindrop because of the difference in the refractive index between air and water. When light enters the water droplet at a certain angle, it bends due to the change in medium. If the angle is just right, the light is reflected internally off the surface of the droplet and then refracted again when it exits, creating a rainbow.
What happens when white light strikes an object?
Depending on the object, it may be reflected, absorbed, refracted or internally reflected.
Why are thunderclouds black?
Light is reflected internally off ice crystals, and cannot escape the cloud.
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?
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.
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.
What are 3 examples of light being reflected?
- light reflected from a window- light reflected from a mirror- light reflected from snow
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.
What is the difference between Brewster angle and critical angle in the context of optics?
The Brewster angle is the angle at which light is completely polarized when it reflects off a surface, while the critical angle is the angle at which light is totally internally reflected within a medium.
What is the name of the ray that represents the light reflected by the surface.?
The ray that represents the light reflected by a surface is called the reflected ray.
What is reflected light from the water or light?
Water is a completely smooth surface and light is reflected from the sun.
