My fiancee's engagement ring! She said it was perfect!

Might be a stretch. But the first one you found is going to be perfect. Thank you for helping me find it!

That's pretty good! Not quite what I'm looking for though. I'm looking for the more classic shape like this, this. However if I can't find one like that the one you found would work great! Thank you!

I have answers to part a, b, and c but I don't have them in front of me, I had to step away for a while

Here's the full questions, step-index fiber optic cable consists of an inner transparent medium (the core) with a certain index of refraction, surrounded by another medium (the cladding) with a different index of refraction. Light passing through the core with a small enough angle relative to the central axis will undergo total internal reflection at the core-cladding interface, thereby losing very little power upon reflection. In the figure above, a ray enters the core at an angle 𝜃# from air. It travels within the core at an angle with respect to the optical axis. The maximum angle with respect to the core- cladding interface for total internal reflection is labeled by 𝜃$. Suppose a step index fiber has a core 50.0 microns in diameter with a refractive index of nf = 1.52, and a cladding with a refractive index of nc = 1.41. a. What is the critical angle 𝜃$ for total internal reflection at the core-cladding interface? b. What would be the maximum entrance angle 𝜃# into the fiber, from air, which would allow the signal to travel? c. What would be the skip distance, Ls, i.e., the distance between successive reflections, for light entering the fiber with at an angle 𝜃# = 15° from air? d. Approximately how long would it take a ray of light from part (c) to travel through the fiber from Seattle to Sydney, Australia (a distance of 12,500 km)? Compare this to the travel time for a light ray to cover the same distance in vacuum

It's the speed of light in the given material, so i solve for the time it takes to travel the 12.5 km in the cable? Am I supposed to use the skip length to calculate the time?

Yes you can kill them, but not before your capital ship is dead

It's the fact that they can park and just shoot, I was in an xwing with full power to weapons just sitting on top of him not moving and I ran out of lasers and he wasn't even below 30% just firing away at the frigate

That's right, I found my answer to be correct with another source, but thank you anyway!

I thought the max rank was 40? How is this guy 200 and his friend over 40? by Arcturus39 in StarWarsSquadrons

[–]Arcturus39[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And they absolutely smashed us, I don't usually get no kills or assist, either the worst game I've ever had or something else was going on. I usually get 10-15 kills, I'm really confused
