Amwoga KhalwaleWhat Is A Step Index Fiber? In optical fiber, a step index fiber is a fiber characterized by a uniform refractive index within the core and a sharp decrease in refractive index at the core-cladding interface so that the cladding is of a lower refractive index. In a step index fiber, the light rays propagate … Read more
Everyday pressure measurements such as for vehicle tire pressure are usually made relative to ambient air pressure. In other cases, measurements are made relative to a vacuum or to some other specific reference. When distinguishing between these zero references, the following terms are typically used: Absolute pressure: Gauge Pressure Differential pressure Gauge Pressure Gauge pressure … Read more
Listening and speaking are important components of Effective communication. Effective communication allows the message, sender and the receiver to express themselves in and even exchange ideas. Listening is an act of making sense out of what a person hears in which case, it requires paying attention, interpreting and remembering what is being communicated. There are … Read more
What Is A Deterministic Algorithm? Deterministic algorithm is the algorithm which, given a particular input will always produce the same output, with the underlying machine always passing through the same sequence of states. In other words, Deterministic algorithm will always come up with the same result given the same inputs. Deterministic algorithms are by far … Read more
Simple Leaf In a simple leaf such as guava, banana, sycamore or mango leaf, the blade is completely undivided. The leaf shape may also be formed of lobes, where the gap between the lobes does reach to the main vein. There are four main parts of a simple leaf and they include: Leaf base: This … Read more
Meaning And Examples The term “niece” refers to a female relative who is the daughter of one’s brother or sister. In other words, she is the child of one’s sibling. The relationship between an individual and their niece is based on a blood connection through a common parent. For example, if John has a sister … Read more
Dispersion also referred as pulse spreading, it signifies the spreading out of pulses of light waves when it is propagated through the optical fiber. It occurs mainly because of the difference in time taken by the propagation of optical rays in different paths within the fiber core. The different dispersion mechanisms include: In other words, … Read more
Dependent demand and independent demand are two different types of demand that are used in supply chain management to manage inventory and production. In other words, Dependent demand and independent demand are two types of demand that are important concepts in supply chain management. Understanding the difference between these two types of demand is crucial … Read more
A concave mirror is a spherical mirror in which the reflecting surface and the center of curvature fall on the same side of the mirror. Concave mirrors show different type of images, depending on the distance between the mirror and the object reflected. This type of mirrors are used quite frequently in day-to-day life. Examples … Read more
Crows and ravens belong in the Corvid family (which includes jays, nutcrackers and magpies) and are considered to be among the most adaptable and intelligent birds. Crows and ravens can appear to be very similar, making it a challenge for someone to tell the difference between the two birds. Both birds are completely black and … Read more
