Re: Eyesight under water

... the light enters the retina optimally (or close to optimal if you need glasses) only when it comes from the air. In water, to the contary, the refraction of light (the way light bends when it enters from one substance to another with different optical properties - here from air/water to the ...

... specs on the cable when I work with it. The engineers order it, the grunts install it, I cut it, fuse it or termnate a connector, and test it for refraction and loss. I suppose I could ask the engineers or get the product number off of the sheath. It's just not something that tech's concern orselves ...

The Fiber Disease

... burgeoning research areas, such as photonic crystals1, 2, 3, 4, near-field microscopy5, 6, 7, surface plasmonics8, 9, 10, 11 and negative index of refraction materials12, 13, 14, 15, 16, is governed by strongly localized electromagnetic waves. Although such light waves are analogous to the localized ...
