Investigating attenuation in optical fibres
PlanAimMy aim is to investigate the factors which affect the attenuation of infrared radiation in an optical fibre modelled by transparent jelly. I will determine how the lengt ... gth and width of the jelly affect how the radiation is attenuated. The loss of the intensity of the infrared radiation is represented by the amount of voltage across the infrared detector. If the inte ... cross the infrared detector. If the intensity of the radiation is high, then the voltage across the infrared detector will also be high.Apparatus (before pilot experiments)Infrared transmitter and det ...
