Expert Solution

Introduction:

The speed of light depends on the medium it is traveling in. The speed of light will be slower in an optically dense medium.

When light moves from one medium to another due to the change in speed the path of the light will change. This is known as refraction.

The amount of refraction also depends on the wavelength. Thus the light of different wavelengths will be refracted differently.

Fiber optic cables, such as those used for high-speed communication (Internet & phone services), transmit signals as light pulses through transparent cables. When viewed from one of the ends, you can see these light pulses, but when viewed from the side you can't. Using your knowledge about reflection and refraction, explain how this might work. Is there some physical limitation where this might not work?
