    The use of a long strand of plastic (or other material such as glass) to pipe light from one end of the medium to the other is the basis for modern day use of optical fibers. Since total internal reflection takes place within the fibers, no incident energy is ever lost due to the transmission of light across the boundary.

    Normal speech is about 60 dB (decibels). A dangerous sound is anything that is 80 dB or higher which can lead to hearing loss. At 70 dB or lower, the risk of harm to healthy ears is negligible. Listening to sound above 80 decibels can cause profound deafness.

    In photography, shutter speed or exposure time is the effective length of time a camera’s shutter is open. The total exposure is proportional to this exposure time, or duration of light reaching the film or image sensor. The correct exposure for a particular object depends on the brightness of the object to be photographed.
