Pendulum Raiyan Hassan SPH3U September 20‚ 2011 Introduction A pendulum is a device which consists of a mass attached to a string from a frictionless pivot which allows it to swing back and forth. In this experiment‚ the time it takes for a pendulum to go through a period is going to be measured. The time it takes for a pendulum to go through one period can depend on factors such as the length of the string‚ mass‚ or the degree in which the pendulum is released from (amplitude). In this

Fiber Optics Fiber Optic Cable Facts "A relatively new technology with vast potential importance‚ fiber optics is the channeled transmission of light through hair-thin glass fibers." [ Less expensive than copper cables [ Raw material is silica sand [ Less expensive to maintain If damaged‚ restoration time is faster (although more users are affected) [ Backbone to the Information Superhighway Information (data and voice) is transmitted through the fiber digitally by the use of high

Fiber optics is a cable that is quickly replacing out-dated copper wires. Fiber optics is based on a concept known as total internal reflection. It can transmit video‚ sound‚ or data in either analog or digital form . Compared to copper wires it can transmit thousands of times more data (slide 2) . Some of its general uses are telecommunications‚ computing‚ and medicine. <br> <br>The very first "fiber" was made in 1870 by the British physicist John Tyndal. In this experiment that he showed to the

Sof-Optics‚ Inc. 1. See attached slide on final page 2. There are a number of problems facing Sof-Optics (detailed below). The most severe problems are in the CSR department: a. Major problems: i. Going forward‚ Sof-Optics will be under pressure to lower prices since B&L (the industry leader) just slashed prices by 25%. This is especially troubling‚ given the point that follows… ii. Loss of customers (and sales) due to long customer service wait times or lack of phone lines available (i

Pin hole camera was invented by a Muslim scientist ibn-al-haitham.An Egyptian polymath (born in Iraq) whose research in geometry and optics was influential into the 17th century; established experiments as the norm of proof in physics (died in 1040). Another inventor is the tenth century optician and physicist Abu Ali al-Hassan ibn al-Hassan ibn al-Haytham‚ simply known as al-Haytham‚ who invented the pinhole camera and discovered how the eye works. The ancient Greeks thought our eyes emitted

a career in Optics and Photonics and I am just one of them but I am different from others because of my eternal enthusiasm to study in this area. I started to dream about photonics and optical systems when I was at secondary school. In high school I started drawing optical systems. This made me more and more eager to study about optics and photonics. Step by step I was starting to make the little boy’s dream come true. After high school I decided to study Material Science or Physics to become more

Opening captures incoming rays‚ maximising diffuse light and distributing it deeper into the space. The Solar Energy and Building Physics Laboratory building case study showcases the refurbishment of the southern façade with the Anidolic Ceiling system‚ achieving higher luminance and illuminance factors. The Anidolic Blinds are a façade system where the non-imaging optics prevent high solar rays but allow lower altitude diffuse light into the room.
