PhysicsCSS

In the structure of a fiber, light is guided through the core due to total internal:

A
Reflection
B
Refraction
C
Diffraction
D
None of these
Explanation and memory cue

Light is guided through the core of an optical fiber due to total internal reflection, which occurs when light traveling within the core hits the core-cladding boundary at an angle greater than the critical angle, causing it to reflect back into the core.

The waves that are used for line of sight (LOS) communication are called:

A
Space waves
B
Cable waves
C
Antenna waves
D
None of these
Explanation and memory cue

Space waves are electromagnetic waves that travel directly from the transmitting antenna to the receiving antenna and are used for line of sight (LOS) communication, such as in TV and FM radio transmission.

Physics

Who was the first scientist to successfully measure the speed of light using observations of Jupiter’s moon Io?

A
Galileo Galilei
B
Isaac Newton
C
Ole Rømer
D
Albert Einstein
Explanation and memory cue

Ole Rømer was the first scientist to successfully measure the speed of light in 1676 by observing the timing variations of eclipses of Jupiter's moon Io, demonstrating that light has a finite speed.

Sound Waves

easy
Physics

Ultrasonic waves are those sound waves having frequency _________?

A
between 20 hertz and 1000 hertz
B
between 1000 hertz and 20000 hertz
C
less than 20 hertz
D
more than 20 kilohertz
Explanation and memory cue

Ultrasonic waves are sound waves with frequencies higher than the upper audible limit of human hearing, which is about 20 kilohertz (20,000 hertz). Therefore, ultrasonic waves have frequencies more than 20 kilohertz.
