Resumen del Recurso

Endoscope
  1. A light ray refracts when it crosses from glass to air.
    1. It is refracted away from the normal.
      1. A partially refracted ray is also seen.
      2. If the angle of incidence in the glass is gradually increased, the angle of refraction increases until the refracted ray emerges along the boundary.
        1. The angle of incidence us called the critical angle, c.
        2. If the angle of incidence is increased beyond the critical angle the light ray undergoes total internal reflection.
          1. When total internal reflection occurs, the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of incidence.
          2. An endoscope is a device used to look inside a patient's body without cutting it open or when performing key hole surgery.
            1. The endoscope contains bundles of optical fibres.
              1. These are very thin, flexible glass fibres. Visible light can be sent along the fibres by total internal reflection.
            2. Laser light may be used as an energy source in an endoscope to carry out some surgical procedures such as cutting, cauterising and burning.
              1. The colour of the laser light is matched to the type of tissue to produce maximum absorbtion.
                1. Eye surgery on the retina in the eye can be carried out by using laser light that passes straight through the cornea at the front of the eye but is absorbed by the retina at the back.
