Question
How can a bundle of optical fibers be used? Explain.
✓
Answer
Bundles of optical fibers can be used in many ways. Optical fibers are extensively used for transmission and receiving of electrical signals, which are converted into light by suitable transducers. It is clear that optical fibers can also be used for transmitting optical signals. For example, they are used as 'light pipes' for visual observation of internal organs, such as the oesophagus, stomach and intestines.

Two electric trains run at the same speed of $72\ km/h$ along the same track and in the same direction with a separation of $2.4\ km$ between them. The two trains simultaneously sound brief whistles. A person is situated at a perpendicular distance of $500m$ from the track and is equidistant from the two trains at the instant of the whistling. If both the whistles were at $500Hz$ and the speed of sound in air is $340m/s,$ find the frequencies heard by the person.
