runs along the fiber's length. The core is surrounded by a medium with a lower index of refraction, typically a cladding of a different glass, or plastic. Light travelling in the core reflects from the core-cladding boundary due to total internal reflection, as long as the angle between the light and the boundary is less than the critical angle. As a result, the fiber transmits all rays that enter the fiber with a sufficiently small angle to the fiber's axis. The limiting angle is called the acceptance

Pamela Perez Abstract The purpose of this experiment was to observe and measure the reflection, refraction, and dispersion of light through mirrors, lenses, and prisms. The experiment involved the interactive use of light to measure quantities that could be used to find properties of the given materials. The results of our experiment yielded focal lengths of 56mm for a concave mirror and 76mm for a convex mirror as well as an index of refraction of acrylic plastic equal to 1.46, and 1.39 with a

behaviors exhibited by Taran Swan, what do you think are the two predominant personality traits that characterize her? Rely on the class discussions from Session 1. Highlight important examples from the case that led you to this conclusion. In the case study about Nickelodeon in Latin America, Taran Swan exhibits glimpses of each of the five personality traits, but the two traits that most clearly epitomize her dynamic personality are “high extraversion”, and “high openness to experience”. Taran

individuals whose theories on human personality would completely affect the way that people viewed the human mind. Carl Gustav was a practicing psychotherapist while Sigmund Freud created the discipline of psychoanalysis. The two men had seemingly identical beliefs about human behavior, but also had contrasting beliefs about concepts such as the ego, the psyche, and the state of unconsciousness. Carl Jung and Sigmund Freud’s Theories Sigmund Freud’s beliefs about personality were based on past experiences

Life Styles Inventory Assignment Traya Ransom ransomtj@verizon.net MGMT591 – Leadership and Organizational Behavior Brett Gordon November 11, 2012 This paper discusses the content Life Styles Inventory (LSI) results for Traya Ransom. It identifies her primary, backup, and limiting thinking styles, the impact her personal styles have on her management style, and it also explains how she developed the personal styles that were reveled in her LSI. The LSI results are shown on page 5. Primary

An important thing to understand about mental illness is that it's defined in relation to the society in which the patient lives. Some cultures may regard ADHD as a personality trait, and some cultures may recognize the cluster of symptoms as being a distinct "thing", but due to the way the society is set up it isn't a "disorder." For anything to qualify as a mental disorder it has to interfere significantly with your life. I'm a good example. I sailed through high school and college without trying

Since its establishment in the early 1920’s the Rorschach test has always been controversial. Named after its Swiss creator, Hermann Rorschach, the Rorschach test is a psychological test in which subjects' perceptions of inkblots are recorded and then analyzed using psychological interpretation, complex algorithms, or both. Hermann Rorschach was a Swiss Psychiatrist born in Zurich in 1884 to a father who was a local art teacher who encouraged his to express himself in all creative capacity. He received

Final examination Theory 1. Explain the dispersion of light by a transparent dielectric material. The phenomen of dispersion is connected to the fact that the refractive index is dependent on the wavelength. Due to dispersion, the light waves from a complex radiation are bent by different angles as they enter a dispersive medium and they may be visualized separately. The index of refraction of a transparent dielectric medium is defined as the ratio of the speed of an electromagnetic wave

converging lenses; nearsightedness can be corrected with diverging lenses ../ The total internal reflection is the complete reflection that takes place within a substance when the angle of incidence of light striking the surface boundary is greater than the critical angle ../ The critical angle is the angle of incidence at which the refracted light makes an angle of 90° with the normal ./ Total internal reflection occurs only when the light moves from a medium with higher index of reaction to one medium

Refraction, Reflection and Optics ITT Technical Institute Physical Networking – NT1310 11/10/2014 Refraction, Reflection and Optics Refraction The most common real life example used when discussing refraction is a straw in water. When a straw is placed in a glass of water and viewed from the side, it appears to be broken or bent. This is due to the difference in the refractive indices of air and water. Since water is denser than air, the straw appears to bend as the light it reflects is slowed
