प्रश्न
Can light be ‘piped’ like sound in a doctor’s stethoscope?
उत्तर
Yes, light can be piped from one end to the other with little loss by allowing it to enter one end of a rod of transparent material. The light will undergo total internal reflection at the wall of the rod and will proceed along its axis. This actually being achieved by using a bundle of glass fibers.

One day Chetan’s mother developed a severe stomach ache all of a sudden. She was rushed to the doctor who suggested for an immediate endoscopy test and gave an estimate of expenditure for the same. Chetan immediately contacted his class teacher and shared the information with her. The class teacher arranged for the money and rushed to the hospital. On realizing that Chetan belonged to a below average income group family, even the doctor offered concession for the test fee. The test was conducted successfully.
