What are the applications of neon?
Some of it's uses are Vacuum tubes, high-voltage indicators, lightning arrestors, wave meter tubes, television tubes, and helium non-lasers.
Would a'a form lava tubes or pahoehoe?
Lava tubes are characteristic of pahoehoe, as it can maintain a solid crust. With a'a the crust on the flows is constantly breaking.
What is used to heat hold and mix small quantities of liquid or solid chemicals?
We need test tubes.
What is the common uses for neon?
Neon is used in lighting, most commonly known for its use in neon signs. It is also used in vacuum tubes, high-voltage indicators, television tubes, and helium-neon lasers.
What are the two most recognizable types of electron tubes?
The two most recognizable types of electron tubes were the ordinary television and computer tube and the once common vacuum tube traditionally used in radios and other electronic equipment.
What is a Solid State Radio?
"Solid State" refers to any electronic device, in this case a radio, that functions on transistors and crystals, rather than vacuum tubes or other heated-filament components. Its basically synonymous with "transistorized."
Can you put vacuum tubes in a solid state amp?
There would be no appropriate sockets in any solid state circuit board to accommodate vacuum tubes. It would be like trying to fit parts of a mechanical church clock into a digital wrist watch.
What components has the transistor replaced?
Mainly vacuum tubes.
What is a sentence with the word transistor in it?
A transistor is a solid state electronic device that replaced vacuum tubes for most uses.
The very first electronic computer components?
Vacuum tubes.
What roles has vacuum tubes played in computer development?
vacuum tubes are the switching components in the first generation computers to process data. later they were replaced by transistors.
What other devices use vacuum tubes?
Vacuum tubes still find uses where solid-state devices have not been developed, are impractical, or where a tube has superior performance, as with some devices in professional audio and high-power radio transmitters. Tubes are still produced for such applications.
What electronic device used as a switch in the first digital computer?
vacuum tubes
Why did solid state electronics replace thermionics?
If you mean vacuum tubes, then : cost, life expectancy, size. And voltage and temperature, resulting in better portability.
Can you perform rectification without using a semicondutor device?
Yes; solid state rectifiers were made using values (also called vacuum tubes). ************************************************************* A solid state device is a semiconductor device. A valve (vacuum tube) is a thermionic device, so yes, rectification can be achieved with a thermionic rectifier.
Features of second generation computer?
transistors : replace vacuum tubes smaller and cheaper less heat dissipation solid state device made from silicon(sand)
Do they still make vacuum tubes?
Do they still make vacuum tubes? Yes! Vacuum tubes are still used in applications where high power is required. And that's because there are no solid state (semiconductor) devices that can deliver what a hefty vacuum tube can produce. We see vacuum tubes used in the broadcast transmitters that radio and TV stations send out their signals with. We also see vacuum tubes used in radar applications, and in things like X-ray generation. You want big power? Get a vacuum tube to deliver it. As we move up the power scale, we'll see solid state devices falling off the truck until we're left with just vacuum tubes. There's a bit more.Now that newer technology has appeared and is becoming more common, the cathode ray tube (CRT) in "regular" television sets is disappearing. (The CRT is a vacuum tube.) There are still plenty of these "older" units being used and marketed in other parts of the world. But the chances are excellent that you encounter a device using a vacuum tube at least daily. The tube we're talking about is called a magnetron, and it is the vacuum tube (a diode with associated magnets that works as a cavity resonator) which generates the microwaves energy that is used in microwave ovens.Vacuum tubes were developed and advanced long before solid state devices came into being. But, though semiconductor technology is at the heart of almost all electronic equipment around us today, the vacuum tube still does the jobs that solid state devices cannot manage. And this will continue to be the case for some time to come.
