has definition A long, thin strand of glass capable of excellent transmission of light over large distances. | ![has source: McLean, I.S. 1997 Electronic Imaging in Astronomy, Wiley, 2001-09-27 09:27:40.0 has source: McLean, I.S. 1997 Electronic Imaging in Astronomy, Wiley, 2001-09-27 09:27:40.0](facet.gif) |
has definition Glass and transparent plastics can be made into a very thin wire or fiber. Typical dimensions are 10-50 µm. If a ray enters one end of a fiber at the appropriate angle, it will undergo total internal reflection and travel down the fiber without much loss through the sides. | ![has source: McLean, I.S. 1997 Electronic Imaging in Astronomy, Wiley, 2001-09-27 09:27:40.0 has source: McLean, I.S. 1997 Electronic Imaging in Astronomy, Wiley, 2001-09-27 09:27:40.0](facet.gif) |
