Solid State Physics

Solid State Physics is the branch of physics that deals with the physical properties of solid materials, especially the electromagnetic, thermodynamic, and structural properties of crystalline solids.

813 Questions

Why acceleration produces at constant speed?

Acceleration by definition is a change in speed, direction, or both. If the speed is constant, the direction could still be changing. You can feel a change in direction, therefore you can feel acceleration even if the speed is constant.

Can sound travel through oxygen?

Yes, sound can travel through oxygen. Sound waves are able to travel through any medium that has molecules, including gases like oxygen. However, sound travels faster through solids and liquids compared to gases.

Who invented the first solid state diode?

A diode is an electronic component with two terminals that conduct asymmetrically. Although there are different types of diodes with different invention histories, the thermionic diodes were first described by Frederick Guthrie in 1873.

What is the volume of 10g of water?

Water has a density of 1 g/mL. To convert volume and mass, you can use the equation d=m/v, or density = mass / volume. Water is a special case, since scientists designed the metric system to make this calculation easy, one mL of water has a mass of exactly one gram.

What is it called when a substance is a solid and liquid?

There is no actual name for a solid and liquid. An item can be a solid and liquid, but that is only under different pressures. For instance: The iron that makes up the Earths core is a solid, but that same material that is found in the Earths upper mantel is a liquid. This is because of the pressure differences

What happens to ice when applied to platinum?

No, but ice cubes and a little scotch can soften a heart of stone.

What is the opposition to the flow of electrons is called?

Resistance, or electrical resistance

Resistance, or electrical resistance

Resistance, or electrical resistance

Resistance, or electrical resistance

What is relaxation?

Relaxation is a state of being free from tension and stress, where the mind and body are calm. Engaging in activities like deep breathing, meditation, or hobbies can help promote relaxation. This state is important for recharging, reducing anxiety, and improving overall well-being.

Why does liquid turn into a solid when it's cooled?

The cause of a liquid turning into a solid is that the molecules from a liquid start to decrease because of the temperature dropping lower until the molecules are squeezed together and hold a shape.

What is decelerating?

DECELERATION,SLOW DOWN=TO REDUCE SPEED,OR MAKE SOMETHING DO THIS

What is difference between crystal lattice and space lattice?

A crystal lattice refers to the arrangement of atoms or ions in a crystal structure, whereas a space lattice refers to the repeating 3D arrangement of points or nodes in space that represent the positions of lattice points in a crystal lattice. In other words, a crystal lattice describes the atomic arrangement within a crystal, while a space lattice defines the spatial arrangement of points representing the crystal lattice.

What are Ultrasonics?

Ultrasonic scalers are used to remove calculus rapidly from the tooth surface. The scaling tip vibrates in the ultrasonicrange of 20-45 kHz (i.e. 20,000 to 45,000 times per second), with an optimum frequency between 18 kHz and 32kHz. Most of the scaling power is available at the tip, which is cooled with a jet of water. There are three basic types - magnetostrictive, piezo-electric and Odontoson™. The scaling tip vibrates and follows a pattern depending on power rating and type - elliptical, curved linear or figure of 8. The water is energised as it passes over the tip to provide cavitation, which results in a scouring action. Because of the heat generated at the tip, it is essential to keep the tip moving over the teeth.

Where is the center of buoyancy in the human body located?

I cannot give you an exact anser as every person is different so please take the following answer with a degree of error of about +/- 20cm.

The bladder. This is due mostly to the great size and robustness of the legs (heavy and solid bones).

What is heavy ion?

A heavy ion is the nucleus of a heavy atom. Heavy atoms are those of elements with atomic weights around that of cobalt or greater.

Why white sand doesn't heat?

White sand does not heat up as much as other colors because it reflects more sunlight and absorbs less heat. The color white reflects most of the sunlight away instead of absorbing it, which helps keep the sand cooler.

If i throw a ball downward from a window at a speed of 2.5 ms How fast will it be moving when it hits the sidewalk 3.0 m below?

This would be the simple answer, ignoring air resistance, wind, and other such incooperative forces.

First working out the vertical component of velocity when it hits the floor:

final velocity (v) = ?

Initial velocity (u) = 0

Displacement (s) = 3

Accelleration (a) = g; taken to be 9.81

Using the equationof linear motion v2 = u2 + 2as

v2 = 0 + (2 * 9.81 * 3)

v2 = 58.86

v = 7.672

Now we know that the horizontal component of velocity will be 2.5 ms-1 (ignoring air resistance) so now we have to find out the velocity of the ball when it hits the floor, if it is travelling at a velocity with a downwards vertical component of 7.672ms-1 and a horizontal component of 2.5ms-1

2.52 + 7.6722 = 65.1095

Square rooting that...

Velocity = 8.069ms-1

When dealing with an air track why is it smart to avoid measuring right at the collision site?

Tracks in cloud chambers are the "contrails" left by ionizing particles. The magnetic field that set up across the observational space will act on charged particles and deflect them. The curves these particles carve out are better measured a bit away from the site of the origin because greater accuracy can be obtained out there.

If we look at the arc a charged particle takes when acted on by the magnetic field, it is easier to take measurements along the curve farther out because there will be "more track" to work with, and greater accuracy will result. This might not be true with particles that lose energy quickly and "spiral in" to disappear, but it is a good general idea to make measurements out away from a scattering event because better accuracy can usually be had there.

Is physical state expands to fill up whatever container it is in is a solid liquid or gas?

A gas will expand to fill up the container it is in because the particles are free to move and have a lot of kinetic energy. Solids and liquids have more compacted particles and won't expand to fill the container.

Why do metals feel colder than insulators?

Metals are generally good conductors of both electricity and heat. Insulators do not conduct electricity or heat because their electron lattice has no free electrons. The heat of your hand is conducted away much faster when a metal is touched. Eventually the metal heats up to your body temperature and if touched again will feel the same as an insulator.

Try putting an ice cube on a square of black plastic and another one on an identical looking square of thick aluminium. The result is amazing.
