A wire of Nichrome (a nickel-chromium-iron alloy commonly used in heating elements) is 1.3 m long and 1.6 mm2 in cross-sectional

area. It carries a current of 3.2 A when a 2.0 V potential difference is applied between its ends. Calculate the conductivity σ of Nichrome. /Ω · m

Answer: 1.3 *10^6 Ω*m

Explanation: In order to explain this problem we have to use the following expression for the resistence:

R=L/(σ*A) where L and A are the length and teh area for the wire, respectively. σ is the conductivity of teh Nichrome.

Then, from mteh OHM law we have V=R*I so R=V/I=2/3.2=0.625 Ω

Finally we have:

σ=L/(R*A)=1.3/(0.625*1.6*10^-6)=1.3*10^6 Ω*m

The work function for tungsten metal is 4.52eV a. What is the cutoff (threshold) wavelength for tungsten? b. What is the maximum
Tanya [424]

Answer: a) 274.34 nm; b) 1.74 eV c) 1.74 V

Explanation: In order to solve this problem we have to consider the energy balance for the photoelectric effect on tungsten:

h*ν = Ek+W ; where h is the Planck constant, ek the kinetic energy of electrons and W the work funcion of the metal catode.

In order to calculate the cutoff wavelength we have to consider that Ek=0

in this case  h*ν=W

(h*c)/λ=4.52 eV

λ= (h*c)/4.52 eV

λ= (1240 eV*nm)/(4.52 eV)=274.34 nm

From this h*ν = Ek+W;  we can calculate the kinetic energy for a radiation wavelength of 198 nm

then we have

(h*c)/(λ)-W= Ek

Ek=(1240 eV*nm)/(198 nm)-4.52 eV=1.74 eV

Finally, if we want to stop these electrons we have to applied a stop potental equal to 1.74 V . At this potential the photo-current drop to zero. This potential is lower to the catode, so this  acts to slow down the ejected electrons from the catode.

What is the term that describes waves that require a medium through which to travel?
gladu [14]

Answer:

Mechanical waves are waves that require a medium. This means that they have to have some sort of matter to travel through. These waves travel when molecules in the medium collide with each other passing on energy. One example of a mechanical wave is sound.
