Study Notes

How Emission Spectra are Produced

Gas is heated
Atoms absorb energy
Electrons jump to higher energy levels
Electrons lose energy
Electrons drop to lower energy levels
Energy is released as light
Colour of light is due to specific wavelengths
Light is identified using diffraction gratings

How Optical Fibres Work

Two bundles of optical fibres
One is incoherent, the other coherent
Fibres are thin
Fibres have cladding with a lower refractive index than the glass core
Cladding increases the critical angle
Light travels through fibres by total internal reflection
Total internal reflection occurs when light travels from a higher refractive index medium to a lower refractive index medium at an angle greater than the critical angle

Analogue to Digital Conversion

Analogue signals are sampled
Samples are taken at set time intervals
Samples are converted to a binary code
The binary code is transmitted as a digital signal
