    Introduction Reflection is a fundamental concept in physics that describes how waves, such as light or sound, bounce off a surface. When these waves encounter a surface, they are reflected back into their original medium rather than being absorbed or transmitted. Law of Reflection The behavior of a wave upon reflection is governed by the…

    Introduction Fiber optics refers to the technology of transmitting information as pulses of light through strands of fiber made from glass or plastic. It’s a key technology in telecommunications, enabling long-distance and high-speed data transmission. Basic Principles The fundamental principle behind fiber optics is total internal reflection. When light traveling through a medium hits a…

    Introduction Snell’s Law, also known as the law of refraction, describes the relationship between the angles of incidence and refraction when a wave passes from one medium to another. It is a fundamental concept in the study of optics and wave propagation. Statement of Snell’s Law The law states that the ratio of the sine…
