Electromagnetic Spectrum | Electromagnetic Wave Spectrum | apniPhysics
The electromagnetic spectrum has its origins in the study of electromagnetism and the behavior of electromagnetic waves. It emerged as a result of the work of several physicists and scientists over the 19th and 20th centuries who sought to understand and describe the nature of electromagnetic radiation. Introduction of Electromagnetic Spectrum One key origin point ...

Magnetic Moment of an Electron Revolving around Nucleus and Formula
The magnetic moment of an electron is a measure of the orbital angular momentum or spin of an electron and its magnetic field. It is expressed in terms of the Bohr magneton, which consists charge of the electron, the Plank’s constant, and the mass of an electron. It is a fundamental constant of nature. The ...

Properties of optical fibers
The refractive index in the core material of the fiber varies due to variation in the composition of the core material which give rise to two types of optical fibers. These are; Step Index fiber Graded Index fiber Further, on the basis of guided optical signals, it can be categorized as Single mode step index ...

What is Total Internal Reflection (TIR)?
Total Internal Reflection Total Internal Reflection (TIR) is the principle of signal transmissions in optical fibers. The understanding of the critical angle is important to understand the TIR. Do you know at what time the incident angle is called the critical angle? If no I will explain here, if yes then good, check my explanation and verify ...

Signal Attenuation in an Optical Fiber
Signal attenuation within the optical fibers is usually expressed in the logarithmic unit of the decibel. Decibel is defined by the input and output power ratio of the signal for a specific operating wavelength. The overall signal attenuation is defined by the number of dB, which is expressed as given below, In optical fiber communications, ...
