The use of light signals to connect electronic components is a key element of today's data communication technologies, ...

In industrial inspection environments, 3D vision systems often must be enclosed in a transparent protective cover to avoid ...

In general, the refractive index varies based on the frequency of the light as well, thus different colors of light travel at different speeds. High intensities also can change the refractive index.

Waters Corporation today announced that its Empower ™ Software now supports biologics data acquisition and quality control ...

This is called refraction. The frequency of light does not change as it refracts. The refractive index of a material is a measure of the change in the speed of light as it passes from a vacuum (or ...

These thin strands of glass are a scientific breakthrough that has made it possible for us to connect with anyone around the globe.

There has been interest in the Negative Refraction Index (NRI) material at optical frequencies. There are two approaches to optical frequencies. 1)Volumetric structure: it is based on the spherical ...

A multimode optical fiber in which the refractive index of the core declines from its highest value at the center of the core to a value at the edge of the core that equals the refractive index of ...

The top layer of liquid is pure water while the bottom layer is concentrated sugar water. In these layers, there is no change in refractive index and no bending of light. In the middle, a gradient ...

We can also use wavelengths to calculate refractive index. By substituting \(v_{1}=f\lambda _{1}\) and \(v_{2}=f\lambda _{2}\) into \(n=\frac{v_{1}}{v_{2}}\) then ...
