Refractive index (RI) was characterized from the angle formed at the axis and slope of the linear fit of the measured perimeter of the loop of a waveguide vs. computed perimeter of the loop of the waveguide by using time-of-flight (TOF) sensor. The RI of uncladded commercially available waveguide was found to be 1.247 and 1.319 at 940 nm using ToF sensor and ellipsometer, respectively. The novel, simple and cost-effective technique may hold potential to initiate new avenues of research.

The MM Theory: The Theory of Everything Part (1)

Authors: Morteza Mahvelati
Comments: 26 Pages.

The nature of matter and the universe and their behaviors have been discussed for many years, and based on these discussions, many unanswered questions have been arisen. The current scientific theory holds that light has a dual wave-particle nature, and its speed is limited to a constant, c. There are two contradictory views of behavior of light - and separately, neither of these views thoroughly explains the phenomena of light. In this paper, a new particle called "M Particle" is presented. Based on this theory and an experiment conducted by the author, in this part, brief explanations for a number of phenomena, including motion, light, thermal wave, electricity, magnetism, radio wave, bending of light near massive objects, redshift and blueshift, photoelectric effect, and dark matter are presented. It is concluded that the laws of motion need to be defined based on the concept of the motion of momentum and not in reference to the motion of an object as Newton defined. In addition, it also concluded that light is a wave of motion of momenta which are conveyed by an ensemble of M particles that acts harmonically and propagates throughout space. Light waves are longitudinal waves similar to sound waves. Furthermore, the experimental results indicate that the speed of light, c, is not constant. Thus, the theories of Special and General relativity are denied.

Why Morley Experiment Could Not Observe the Movement of Interference Fringe

If the weakest gravitational wave could rise the fluctuation of the LIGO interference fringe of light, how should we neglect the gravity’s influences on light? We raise the possibility that the light is affected by the gravity of the Earth. In this way, the Morley Experiment would not find the movement of interference fringe either in the air or in the vacuum environment.

Gravitational Fields and Gravitational Waves

Authors: Tony Yuan
Comments: 17 Pages. [Corrections made by viXra Admin to conform with scholarly norm]

For any object with finite velocity, the relative velocity between them will affect the effect between them. This effect can be called the chasing effect (general Doppler effect). LIGO discovered gravitational waves and measured the speed of gravitational waves equal to the speed of light c. Gravitational waves are generated due to the disturbance of the gravitational field, and the gravitational waves will affect the gravitational force on the object. We know that light waves have the Doppler effect, and gravitational waves also have this characteristic. The article studies the following questions around gravitational waves: What is the spatial distribution of gravitational waves? Can the speed of the gravitational wave represent the speed of the gravitational field (the speed of the action of the gravitational field on the object)? What is the speed of the gravitational field? Will gravitational waves caused by the revolution of the sun affect planetary precession? Can we modify Newton’s gravitational equation through the influence of gravitational waves?

Helix-Antenne mit Winkelreflektor (Helical Antenna with Angle Reflector)

Authors: Herbert Weidner
Comments: 5 Pages.

Die Reflektorplatte einer Helixantenne kann den Antennengewinn nicht steigern, weil sie den Drehsinn einer zirkular polarisierten Welle invertiert. Eine zweimalige Reflexion vermeidet diesen Nachteil und erhöht den Antennengewinn. Durchgeführte Messungen bestätigen diese Überlegungen.

The reflector plate of a helical antenna cannot increase the antenna gain because it flips the sense of rotation of a circularly polarized wave. A double reflection avoids this disadvantage and increases the antenna gain. Performed measurements confirm these considerations.

Focusing Sun's Rays to a Point Using Spherical Mirror

Authors: Radhakrishnamurty Padyala
Comments: 2 Pages. 2

We show in this short communication, a proof without words, for the proposition that: If a parabolic-mirror focuses, by reflection, Sun’s rays parallel to its axis at a unique point, viz., its focus, then it necessarily follows that a spherical-mirror too, does so. That is, a spherical-mirror focuses, by reflection, Sun’s rays parallel to its axis at a unique point, viz., its center. The point is also known as the ‘Burning point of the mirror’.
