If you LOVE someone, get it
If you HATE someone, don't mind it
If you love PHYSICS, go fot it
but be sure you can make it...
make your BEST out of it
TOP 10 RULES in PHYSICS BLOG
1. Choose the best blog maker
for your physics blog
2. Make a beautiful blog to attract them
3. Complete all the given requirements
eg. name, likes, dislikes etc.
4. Try to update it at least once a week
or if there is something important thing
that happend on that day on your physics room
post it on your blog
5. If you want to put pictures,
be sure that most of it
are connected to physics
6. If you want to put some effects,
eg. music, date etc.
as much as possible it is
also within the physics subject
7. When you are in the other physics blog,
please put your comments on their tagboard,
if you don't post any comment
then you will not also receive
any comments from them
in short.....
in every action there is
an equal and the same reaction
8. If there are some people
who helped to work on your blog
put their acknowledgement
9. Make a main physics blogsite of your
section so that it is easy
for your teacher to check
your physics blog
10. Please, do not frequently
copy and paste because
it is a crime
as i entered the PHYSICS room...

FIBER OPTICS1. The science or technology of light transmission through very fine, flexible glass or plastic fibers.
2. A bundle of optical fibers.
Parts and Function of the Fiber Optics
Core - Thin glass center of the fiber where the light travels
Cladding - Outer optical material surrounding the core that reflects the light back into the core Buffer coating - Plastic coating that protects the fiber from damage and moisture
How Does it work?
Fiber-optic transmission of light depends on preventing light from escaping from the fiber. When a beam of light encounters a boundary between two transparent substances, some of the light is normally reflected, while the rest passes into the new substance. How much of the beam is reflected, and how much enters the second substance, depends on the angle at which the light strikes the boundary. When the Sun shines down on the ocean from directly overhead, for example, much of its light penetrates the water. When the Sun is setting, however, its light strikes the surface of the water at a shallow angle, and most of it is reflected. Fiber optics makes use of certain special conditions, under which all of the light encountering the surface between two materials is reflected, to reduce loss.
A principle called total internal reflection allows optical fibers to retain the light they carry. When light passes from a dense substance into a less dense substance, there is an angle, called the critical angle, beyond which 100 percent of the light is reflected from the surface between substances. Total internal reflection occurs when light strikes the boundary between substances at an angle greater than the critical angle. An optical-fiber core is clad (coated) by a lower density glass layer. Light traveling inside the core of an optical fiber strikes the outside surface at an angle of incidence greater than the critical angle so that all the light is reflected toward the inside of the fiber without loss. As long as the fiber is not curved too sharply, light traveling inside cannot strike the outer surface at less than the critical angle. Thus, light can be transmitted over long distances by being reflected inward thousands of times with no loss.
