What is fiber optics? • “Hairs” of glass • Flexible • Core, Cladding, Buffer Coating • Transmitter, fiber, regenerator, reciever • Core and Cladding have very specific index of refraction
Physics principle:total internal reflection Index of Refraction = IR Air & Glass • Glass = blue, Air = white • Light will always bend at 2i • c= Critical Angle • Light needs to be shot at a greater angle than c • Snell’s Law
Snell’s Law Index of refraction of Slower medium X sin(c) = Index of refraction of faster medium X sin(90) Index of refraction of air=1 Index of refraction of water=1.33 Bigger index = slower 1.33 X sin(c) = 1 X 1 1.33 X sin(c) = 1 Sin(c) = 1/1.33 C = sin^-1(1/1.33) Critical Angle = 48.8
Cost analysis associated Switching to fiber optics • Manufacture, installation • Federal & State tax credits • Banks more willing to give loans in order to encourage efficiency • Business partners contribute to each other to upgrade to fiber optics • Promotes goods and services that were previously unavailable
Design nine • End-to-end company that deals with telecommunications architecture and design • Design Nine spearheads research and development for new network tech • Big provider of fiber optics for businesses and residential homes
Biblical integration Genesis 11:6 • “And the LORD said, ‘Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language, and this is only the beginning of what they will do. And nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them.’” • God gave us minds to advance, invent, create • New innovations have seemingly no limit
