Physics - Unit: Waves and light Two cellphone towers separated by 550 m transmit an identical 790 MHz signal. You discover that you have an optimal signal while standing 12 km from each of the towers. The towers lie along a north-south line, and as you walk directly north, the signal decreases. Calculate how far north you must walk until you have an optimal signal again
Refraction of Light
Refraction is a change in the direction of light rays when they travel from one medium to another. It is the bending of light when it goes through different media.
Angle of Refraction
Light is considered by many scientists to have dual nature, both particle nature and wave nature. First, Particle nature is one in which we consider a stream of packets of energy called photons. Second, Wave nature is considering light as electromagnetic radiation whereas part of it is perceived by humans. Visible spectrum defined by humans lies in a range of 400 to 700 nm wavelengths.
Index of Refraction of Diamond
Diamond, the world’s hardest naturally occurring material and mineral known, is a solid form of the element carbon. The atoms are arranged in a crystal structure called diamond cubic. They exist in a huge variety of colours. Also, they are one of the best conductors of heat and have a very high melting point.

Two cellphone towers separated by 550 m transmit an identical 790 MHz signal. You
discover that you have an optimal signal while standing 12 km from each of the towers.
The towers lie along a north-south line, and as you walk directly north, the signal
decreases. Calculate how far north you must walk until you have an optimal signal again.
