Understanding Fiber Optics and Light Reflection

What is the primary purpose of using a laser in the experiment?

• To measure the water flow

• To heat the water

• To make the water visible

• To demonstrate light bending

Why is it important that the straw's end is not inside the bottle?

• To prevent water from leaking

• To allow the light to exit the straw

• To keep the straw from blocking the water flow

• To ensure the laser points directly into the straw

What role does the water pump play in the experiment?

• It heats the water to create steam

• It circulates the water to avoid stagnation

• It creates a flow of water through the straw

• It measures the amount of water in the bottle

How does light behave inside the water in the experiment?

• It makes zigzag patterns following the water's path

• It absorbs into the water causing heat

• It disperses into a spectrum

• It reflects off the water's surface

What is the similarity between the experiment and fiber optic cables?

• Both allow light to escape at bends

• Both involve light reflecting internally to follow a path

• Both use electrical energy to transmit data

• Both use water to transmit light
