Wave Properties and Optical Fibres Exam Solution Manual Already Passed
Amplitude - Answers A wave's maximum displacement from its equilibrium position.
Antinode - Answers A position of maximum displacement in a stationary wave.
Cladding - Answers A protective layer on an optical fibre to improve tensile strength, prevent scratching,
and prevent signal transfer between adjacent fibres.
Coherence - Answers Waves are coherent if they have the same wavelength and frequency, with a fixed
phase difference between them.
Diffraction Grating - Answers A grating with hundreds of slits per millimetre, used to calculate atomic
spacing and analyze elements.
Diffraction - Answers The spreading of waves as they pass through a gap of similar magnitude to their
wavelength.
Electromagnetic Waves - Answers Waves that consist of perpendicular electric and magnetic oscillations.
Frequency - Answers The number of waves that pass a point in a unit time period.
Fringe Spacing - Answers The distance between two adjacent bright fringes or two adjacent dark fringes.
Interference - Answers The superposition of waves that occurs when two waves meet.
Laser - Answers A light source that produces a collimated and coherent beam.
Longitudinal Wave - Answers A wave with oscillations parallel to the direction of energy propagation.
Material Dispersion - Answers Waves of different wavelengths travel at slightly different speeds through
an optical fibre, causing pulse broadening.
Modal Dispersion - Answers Waves enter an optical fibre at slightly different angles, causing pulse
broadening.
Node - Answers A position of minimum displacement in a stationary wave.
Optical Fibre - Answers A thin glass fibre through which signals are passed through.
Path Difference - Answers A measure of how far ahead a wave is compared to another wave.
Phase Difference - Answers The difference in phase between two points on a wave.
Phase - Answers A measure of how far through the wave's cycle a given point on the wave is.
Polarisation - Answers The restriction of a wave so that it can only oscillate in a single plane.
