Possible results in the behavior of a sound wave are that it will reflect off the obstacle, diffract around the obstacle, or refract or bend if traveling into a different medium (Henderson par 75). par Reflection of a sound wave can be compared to the reflection of light waves from a mirror. ...
And he himself was noting but a prism that refracted their lives. ... The thing that he is looking for is light. This ambiguous concept of light Ondaatje presents throughout the novel is not ordinary light, but one that illuminates the void of darkness. ... "And he himself was nothing but a prism that refracted their lives," (Ondaatje, pg.157) is a well-written metaphor that describes his relationship with his friends. A prism, by definition, refracts light into a spectrum of colors. ...
The fiber cables guide light around bends and they are able to carry light for very long distances with very little attenuation. ... The fiber cables introduce loss of light and smearing of the modulation imposed on the light signals to represent information. ... The most basic optical fiber consist of: a) An inner cylinder with high refractive index, called the core. b) Middle cylinder with a lower refractive index, called the cladding. c) An outer protective polymer layer (usually polyurethane or PVC) called the jacket. ... If you use silica glass for the core, it must be high purity in orde...
Contrary to the radio waves the microwaves do not penetrate obstacles and also they suffer divergences because it can be refracted from the lower levels of atmosphere reaching in the receiver delayed and except phase (regarding with others) and cancelling the signal. ...
Diane Stein records Usui's revelation: On the final morning of his quest, in the darkest hour just before dawn, Usui saw a projectile of light coming toward him. ... The light struck his third eye and he lost consciousness for a time. ... Literally, a holograph is a projected three-dimensional image created through manipulating refracted light. ... Current observations of the attributes of particles have concluded that they act in much the same way as light (photons). ...
