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
fredd [130]

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

A sample of an unknown substance has a mass of 89.5 g. If 345.2 J of heat are required to heat the substance from 285 K to 305 K
Zinaida [17]

Heat gained in a system can be calculated by multiplying the given mass to the specific heat capacity of the substance and the temperature difference. It is expressed as follows:<span>

Heat = mC(T2-T1)
345.2 = 89.5(C)(305 - 285)
C = 0.1928 </span>J/g•K

g Two radiation modes (one at the center frequency lIo and the other at lIO+?lI) are excited with 1000 photons each. Determine t
Schach [20]

Answer:

a) P=0.25x10^-7

b) R=B*N2*E

c) N=1.33x10^9 photons

Explanation:

a) the spontaneous emission rate is equal to:

1/tsp=1/3 ms

the stimulated emission rate is equal to:

pst=(N*C*o(v))/V

where

o(v)=((λ^2*A)/(8*π*u^2))g(v)

g(v)=2/(π*deltav)

o(v)=(λ^2)/(4*π*tp*deltav)

Replacing values:

o(v)=0.7^2/(4*π*3*50)=8.3x10^-19 cm^2

the probability is equal to:

P=(1000*3x10^10*8.3x10^-19)/(100)=0.25x10^-7

b) the rate of decay is equal to:

R=B*N2*E, where B is the Einstein´s coefficient and E is the energy system

c) the number of photons is equal to:

N=(1/tsp)*(V/C*o)

Replacing:

N=100/(3*3x10^10*8.3x10^-19)

N=1.33x10^9 photons
