Possible results in the behavior of a sound wave are that it will reflect off the obstacle, diffract around the obstacle, or refract or bend if traveling into a different medium (Henderson par 75). par Reflection of a sound wave can be compared to the reflection of light waves from a mirror. ...
And he himself was noting but a prism that refracted their lives. ... The thing that he is looking for is light. This ambiguous concept of light Ondaatje presents throughout the novel is not ordinary light, but one that illuminates the void of darkness. ... "And he himself was nothing but a prism that refracted their lives," (Ondaatje, pg.157) is a well-written metaphor that describes his relationship with his friends. A prism, by definition, refracts light into a spectrum of colors. ...
The fiber cables guide light around bends and they are able to carry light for very long distances with very little attenuation. ... The fiber cables introduce loss of light and smearing of the modulation imposed on the light signals to represent information. ... The most basic optical fiber consist of: a) An inner cylinder with high refractive index, called the core. b) Middle cylinder with a lower refractive index, called the cladding. c) An outer protective polymer layer (usually polyurethane or PVC) called the jacket. ... If you use silica glass for the core, it must be high purity in orde...
The historical event of the sinking of The Gustloff becomes a prism through which the attitudes of three generations of Germans are refracted thus revising history differently. ... Paul, who tries to be neutral in this whole process of revisiting and rewriting history, records both characters in the light of their contexts including some common points including their physical deformity. ...
Contrary to the radio waves the microwaves do not penetrate obstacles and also they suffer divergences because it can be refracted from the lower levels of atmosphere reaching in the receiver delayed and except phase (regarding with others) and cancelling the signal. ...
Excerpts from John Locke [pp. 1-6], and Edmund Burke [pp. 7-11] from this document. This should be regarded as necessary reading for answering the Questions on Locke and Burke. Excerpts From John Locke, Second Treatise of Government: CHAPTER II: LIBERTY AND EQUALITY: [II.4-5 4. To understand political power aright, and derive it from its original, we must consider what estate all men are naturally in, and that is, a state of perfect freedom to order their actions, and dispose of their possessions and persons as they think fit, within the bounds of the law of Nature, without asking leave or de...
Diane Stein records Usui's revelation: On the final morning of his quest, in the darkest hour just before dawn, Usui saw a projectile of light coming toward him. ... The light struck his third eye and he lost consciousness for a time. ... Literally, a holograph is a projected three-dimensional image created through manipulating refracted light. ... Current observations of the attributes of particles have concluded that they act in much the same way as light (photons). ...
