[Intro]
Welcome to Macka.B's Medical Monday
Today it's all about this the cucumber
Or as they call it in Jamaica

[Verse]
Cucumba, Cucumba
Vitamins, minerals very high number
Silica, hair and nails get longer
Other vitamins make your bones dem stronger
Anti wrinkle make you look younger
95 per cent water, kidney cleanser, great hydrater
Detox, fibre, good regulator
Give your body good things don't be a traitor
Get the cucumber cut it inna slice
Put it inna jug of water overnight
You know what you get for a fraction of the price
Energy drink full of electrolytes
Raw inna salad is one of the use
Or as a base for your Vegetable juice
Another surprise, put a slice on your eyes
Take away the dryness, revitalise
Oh yes, one thing I have left
Cucumber can also help with bad breath
Wash away the Bacteria that cause the odour
Cucumber water instead of Soda

[Outro]
Macka. B Medical Monday, cucumba!

A fiber optic cable consists of a bundle of glass threads, each of which is capable of transmitting messages modulated onto light waves. Fiber optics has several advantages over traditional metal communications lines: Fiber optic cables have a much greater bandwidth than metal cables.

Who invented fiber optics?

1840s: Swiss physicist Daniel Colladon (1802–1893) discovered he could shine light along a water pipe. The water carried the light by internal reflection.

1870: An Irish physicist called John Tyndall (1820–1893) demonstrated internal reflection at London's Royal Society. He shone light into a jug of water. When he poured some of the water out from the jug, the light curved round following the water's path. This idea of "bending light" is exactly what happens in fiber optics. Although Colladon is the true grandfather of fiber-optics, Tyndall often earns the credit.

1930s: Heinrich Lamm and Walter Gerlach, two German students, tried to use light pipes to make a gastroscope—an instrument for looking inside someone's stomach.

1950s: In London, England, Indian physicist Narinder Kapany (1927–) and British physicist Harold Hopkins (1918–1994) managed to send a simple picture down a light pipe made from thousands of glass fibers. After publishing many scientific papers, Kapany earned a reputation as the "father of fiber optics."

1957: Three American scientists at the University of Michigan, Lawrence Curtiss, Basil Hirschowitz, and Wilbur Peters, successfully used fiber-optic technology to make the world's first gastroscope.

1960s: Chinese-born US physicist Charles Kao (1933–) and his colleague George Hockham realized that impure glass was no use for long-range fiber optics. Kao suggested that a fiber-optic cable made from very pure glass would be able to carry telephone signals over much longer distances and was awarded the 2009 Nobel Prize in Physics for this ground-breaking discovery.

1960s: Researchers at the Corning Glass Company made the first fiber-optic cable capable of carrying telephone signals.

1977: The first fiber-optic telephone cable was laid between Long Beach and Artesia, California.

1997: A huge transatlantic fiber-optic telephone cable called FLAG (Fiber-optic Link Around the Globe) was laid between London, England and Tokyo, Japan

For total internal reflection to occur, two conditions must be met:

The index of refraction must decrease across the boundary in the direction of light refraction.

The angle of incidence of the light ray must exceed the critical angle of the interface

The refractive index of the core, n1, is always greater than the index of the cladding, n2. Light is guided through the core, and the fiber acts as an opticalwaveguide. Figure 3-2 shows the propagation of light down the fiber-optic cable using the principle of total internal reflection

Suppose you want to shine a flashlight beam down a long, straight hallway. Just point the beam straight down the hallway -- light travels in straight lines, so it is no problem. What if the hallway has a bend in it? You could place a mirror at the bend to reflect the light beam around the corner. What if the hallway is very winding with multiple bends? You might line the walls with mirrors and angle the beam so that it bounces from side-to-side all along the hallway. This is exactly what happens in an optical fiber.

The light in a fiber-optic cable travels through the core (hallway) by constantly bouncing from the cladding (mirror-lined walls), a principle called total internal reflection. Because the cladding does not absorb any light from the core, the light wave can travel great distances.

Optic fiber is made up of a coating or buffer, which shelters the cladding, which also covers the core.

Glass optical fibers are almost always made from silica, but some other materials, such as fluorozirconate, fluoroaluminate, and chalcogenide glasses as well as crystalline materials likesapphire, are used for longer-wavelength infrared or other specialized applications.
