PC1222 Fundamentals of Physics II Tutorial 8 1. Refraction of Light I. When a man stands near the edge of an empty drainage ditch of depth 2.80 m, he can barely see the boundary between the opposite wall and bottom of the ditch as shown. The distance from his eyes to the ground is 1.85 m. (a) What is the horizontal distance d from the man to the edge of the drainage ditch? (b) After the drainage ditch is filled with water as shown, what is the maximum distance x the man can stand from the edge

Quantum optics tells us that left (l)- and right (r)-circularly polarized (CP) photon conveys "integer" spin angular momentum, +ℏ and –ℏ, respectively, although photon is massless elemental particle. The nature of "integer" spin obeying Bose-Einstein statics makes plural spins confine in an ultrasmall temporalspace with the same quantum state, meanwhile, "half integer" spin like electron denies to share the same quantum state in a molecular space, well-known as Pauli exclusion principle. Intense

Automatic Detection of optic disc location in Color Fundus Retinal Images Using Circle Operator Abstract—In this work a method is proposed to detect optic disk (OD) automatically in color retinal fundus image without using background mask and blood vessels. Based on the properties of OD, an idea of circle operator is presented here. This method has been applied on six public databases and the promising results are obtained. The experimental results indicate that this proposed method of automatic

PH4604 Topics in Applied Physics: Bioimaging and Sensing Chin Zong Yang U1340544E Fiber Optic Biosensors Abstract: This paper studies the clinical use of fiber optic biosensors, its advantages over traditional means of detection and limitations of this new technology. An in-depth study of its history, how the technology works, and comparisons with older methods of bio-sensing will also be made. Introduction: A biosensor is a device or method that allows a certain specific biological material

1. What are sheathed fibers? Answer- The optics that have an external cladding whether opaque or transparent in order to afford a mechanical protection to the optics. 2. Why do some fibers change the colour of the light? Answer- In fact, all fibers change the color of the light in one way or another. Due to the physical characteristics of the conductor some frequencies travel with less impediment than others and it is impossible to produce a fiber that would have the same attenuation on the whole

of fibre optic technology in subsea control system has impressively improved the communication capacity, quality and reliability. It provides large bandwidth, extend step-out distant with minimum error rate. This survey paper will focus on basic overview of fibre optic transferring data in communication system, key benefits of using fibre optic in subsea production control system, comparison between the used of fibre optic and cooper wire, key components and consideration of fibre optic design for

In the article “Getting the Big picture in Perspectivist Optics”, by Mark A. Smith, he purposes the argument of how we come to understand and categorize objects. He does this in an elongated analogy of sight and cognition. He suggests that the perspectivists was about the origins of sight, and how we understand objects. Due to this, perspectiva should been understood in a scientific view, not just our visual perception, but rather visual cognition. To help understand his view of how we understand

Optic Neuritis Introduction Optic neuritis (ON) is a disease related to the eye that causes visual impairment. ON arises due to the inflammation and demyelination of the optic nerve, affecting interpretation of visual signals causing blurred, grey or dim vision. More often than not, ON is monocular in scope however there are cases where both eyes are affected. ON has been known to be highly associated with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) however an individual does not have to have MS to be diagnosed with

There are many structures in the eye, some of which include; the retina, rods and cones, the macula, the central fovea, the cranial nerve, the optic chiasm and the lateral geniculate nucleus. The retina is a layer at the back of the eye containing cells that are sensitive to light, it triggers impulses through the optic nerve. Rods and cones are specialized receptors which sense light and color. The macula is an area about the diameter of a pencil head and is close to 100 times more sensitive to

James Gourley PHS 208 Barrett Honors Contract Additional Research Report The Future of Fiber Optics I. What is Fiber-Optics? Fiber-optic technology is often discussed in a wide range of conversations. This may be when people talk about TVs, phones, internet, or general technology. Fiber optics may also be referred to when talking about light and optics. An optical fiber is defined as a “flexible, transparent fiber made by drawing glass (silica) or plastic to a diameter slightly thicker than that
