Speed Of Light Degrees Celsius
1,124 wordsThe Properties of Light Applied to Fibre Optics One of the basic properties of light is that it travels in straight lines and can have it? s direction changed. This is the property which is applied to achieve the purpose of Fibre Optics which is to carry light from one place to another. The way this is done can be explained by the principle of refraction. This is the principle which governs the behaviour of light as it passes from one transparent substance to another. It states; if a ray of ligh...
