专 业 英 语 ;Unit 7：;　　Snell’s Law(斯涅尔定律);; Optical fiber transmission has come of age as a major innovation in telecommunications. telecommunications：电讯, 长途通讯, 无线电通讯, 电信学 光纤传输作为电信业一项重大变革的时代已经到来。; Such systems offer extremely high bandwidth, freedom from external interference, immunity from interception by external means, and cheap raw material (silicon, the most abundant material on the Earth). bandwidth：带宽； external interference：外界干扰 interception ：中途夺取, 拦截,侦听；raw material：原料 光纤通信系统提供了极宽的带宽，它不受外界干扰，不能通过外部手段进行信号截取，它的原材料是廉价的（硅，地球上最丰富的物质）。; Optical fibers guide light rays within the fiber material. They can do this because light rays bend or change direction when they pass from one medium to another. light rays ：光纤 medium ：介质，媒介; They bend because the speed of propagation of light in each medium is different. This phenomenon is called refraction. speed of propagation：传播速度 phenomenon：现象 refraction：折射 光线发生弯曲是因为光的传播速度在各种介质中是不同的。这种现象就称作折射。;One common example of refraction occurs when you stand at the edge of a pool and look at an object at the bottom of the pool. Unless you are directly over the object, it appears to be farther away than it really is. 当你站在湖边，看湖底的一个物体时，就会发生最普通的折射的例子。如果你不是在物体的正上方，这个物体就会看起来比他真实的位置更远。; This effect occurs because the speed of the light rays from the object increases as the light rays pass from the water to the air. light rays：光线 发生这种效应是因为，来自物体的光线从水中进入空气时，其速度会增加。 ;This causes them to bend, changing the angle at which you perceive the object. You can obtain an appreciation for the manner by which light flows by focusing upon Snell’s Law. perceive ：察觉，感知, 感到 这使得光线发生弯曲，改变了观察物体的角度。通过Snell定律可以理解光线遵循的传播方式。; How optical fibers work can be explained by Snell’s Law, which states that the ratio of the sine of the angle of incidence to the sine of the angle of refraction is equal to the ratio of the propagation velocities of the wave in the two respective media. the ratio of A to B：表示A与B之比 the angle of refraction：折射角 the angle of in
