Answer:
Tungsten wire is used as the filament in light bulbs. It glows white-hot as current passes through it.
Tungsten is used in light bulbs because its high <u>RESISTANCE</u> converts electric energy into light and heat.
Explanation:
The text does not specify whether the resistance R of the wire must be kept the same or not: here I assume R must be kept the same.
The relationship between the resistance and the resistivity of a wire is

where

is the resistivity
A is the cross-sectional area
R is the resistance
L is the wire length
the cross-sectional area is given by

where r is the radius of the wire. Substituting in the previous equation ,we find

For the new wire, the length L is kept the same (L'=L) while the radius is doubled (r'=2r), so the new resistivity is

Therefore, the new resistivity must be 4 times the original one.

Answer:
a. (a) grating A has more lines/mm; (b) the first maximum less than 1 meter away from the center
Explanation:
Let n₁ and n₂ be no of lines per unit length of grating A and B respectively.
λ₁ and λ₂ be wave lengths of green and red respectively , D be distance of screen and d₁ and d₂ be distance between two slits of grating A and B ,
Distance of first maxima for green light
= λ₁ D/ d₁
Distance of first maxima for red light
= λ₂ D/ d₂
Given that
λ₁ D/ d₁ = λ₂ D/ d₂
λ₁ / d₁ = λ₂ / d₂
λ₁ / λ₂ = d₁ / d₂
But
λ₁ < λ₂
d₁ < d₂
Therefore no of lines per unit length of grating A will be more because
no of lines per unit length ∝ 1 / d
If grating B is illuminated with green light first maxima will be at distance
λ₁ D/ d₂
As λ₁ < λ₂
λ₁ D/ d₂ < λ₂ D/ d₂
λ₁ D/ d₂ < 1 m
In this case position of first maxima will be less than 1 meter.
Option a is correct .
