The total internal reflection of waves

Cards (4)

  • conditions for TIR
    angle of incidence greater than critical and movement from a more dense to a less dense material
  • which EM wave is used for satellites
    microwaves and infra red radiation
  • describe an endoscope
    . uses optical fibres and CT scans use X rays.
    . used to investigate specific areas of the body
    . less harmful than CT scans
  • describe an CT scan
    . used to generate more overall images of the body and are a higher risk than endoscopes as they use X rays.
    CT scans are 3D
