Fiber Optics and Accessories

Light travels down a fiber-optic cable by bouncing repeatedly off the walls. Each tiny photon (particle of light) bounces down the pipe like a bobsleigh going down an ice run. Now you might expect a beam of light, traveling in a clear glass pipe, simply to leak out of the edges. But if light hits glass at a really shallow angle (less than 42 degrees), it reflects back in again-as though the glass were really a mirror. This phenomenon is called total internal reflection. It"s one of the things that keeps light inside the pipe. Fiber Optics and Accessories are in stock at Tenco Electronics.
