Answer:

(d) 2840 A

Explanation:

Threshold frequency can be be calculated using expresion below

(λ)= hc/ Φ

(λ) sodium/ (λ)tungsten = Φtungsten/ Φsodium

But (λ) sodium is given as 5460 A,

Φsodium = 2.3 eV

Φtungsten= 4.4 eV

If we substitute the values we can find

(λ)tungsten.

(λ)tungsten= [(λ) sodium × Φsodium]/ Φtungsten

=( 5460× 2.3)/4.4

= 2854A

Hence, threshold wavelength of tungsten is 2854A

Why is thermal expansion an important consideration for engineering?
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Thermal expansion is where materials expand while being heated, causing them to take up more space. Some materials expand more than others. But this all happens due to the motion of tiny little molecules. Temperature is the average kinetic energy of the molecules in a substance.

Thermal expansion is an important consideration for engineering because different materials exhibit changes in size when exposed to heat. Thus, affecting length, width, surface area, volume, shape etc
