Consider 20 deg.C. as room temperature.

From tables,
Silver has a resistivity of  1.6*10^-8 ohm-m at 20 deg.C, and it increases by 0.0038 ohm-m per deg.K increase.
Therefore if the temperature rise above 20 deg.C is T, then silver will have resistivity of
1.6*10^-8(1 + 0.0038T) ohm-m

At room temperature, the resistivity of tungsten (from tables) is 5.6*10^-8.

The resistivity of silver will be 4 times that of tungsten (at room temperature) when
1.6*10^-8(1 + 0.0038T) = 4*5.6*10^-8
1 + 0.0038T = 14
T = 13/.0038 = 3421 deg.K approx

Answer: 20 + 3421 = 3441 °C

An amateur astronomer looks at the moon through a telescope with a 15-cm-diameter objective. What is the minimum separation betw
Lana71 [14]

Answer:

  y = 128.0 km

Explanation:

The minimum separation of two objects is determined by Rayleygh's diffraction criterion, which establishes that two bodies are solved if the first minino of diffraction of one coincides with the central maximum of the second, with this criterion the diffraction equation remains

                       

the diffraction equation for the first minimum is

                       a sin θ = λ

In the case of circular openings, the equation must be solved in polar coordinates, leaving the expression, we use the approximation that the sine of tea is very small.

                    θ =  1.22 λ / d

                   d = 15 cm

to find the distance we can use trigonometry

             tan θ = y / L

             tan θ = sin θ / cos θ = θ

substituting

              y / L = λ / d

              y = L λ /d

let's calculate

              y = 384 10⁸ 500 10⁻⁹ / 0.15

              y = 1.28 10⁵ m

Let's reduce to km

             y = 1.28 10⁵ m (1km / 10³ m)

             y = 128.0 km

the correct answer is 120 km away
