Fiber optics are an important part of our modern internet. In these fibers, two different glasses are used to confine the light by total internal reflection at the critical angle for the interface between the core (ncore =1.497) and the cladding (ncladding =1.421)

Water at room temperature of 20.0°c is poured into an aluminum cylinder which has graduation markings etched on the inside. the reading in the graduations is 300.0 cc. the cylinder with the water in it is then immersed in a constant temperature bath at a temperature of 100°c. what is the reading for the level of water on the graduations of the cylinder after the water and the cylinder reach thermal equilibrium with the bath? the volume coefficient of expansion of water is 2.07 x 10^-4 k-1, and the linear coefficient of expansion of aluminum is 23.0 x 10^-6 k-1. a) 305.0 cc b) 304.0 cc c) 303.5 cc d) 303.3 cc e) 304.5 cc

An incident ray through the focal point of a spherical mirror will: reflect through the center of curvature. reflect back through the focal point. reflect parallel to the principle axis. reflect the same direction as the incident ray.

If gases like carbon dioxide and methane make up less than 1% of the total atmosphere, why is it important for scientists to monitor changes in percentages of these gases?
