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.

What groups were part of each of these waves?

a 1.00 x10^4 meter steel railroad truck with the coefficient of linear expansion of 12x10^-6 per degree celciuos changes temperature from 18c to 38c . by how much many meters will the railroad truck expand?

How a single LED showing many colors?

It actually has more than one LED inside the same package. For instance, a package with red, green and blue LEDs inside can produce any color by mixing these three colors together.

What is the definition of energy transformations?

2. Energy can change from one form to another. This is called an energy conversion or energy transformation.

• The Law of Conservation of Energy states that energy can change form, but it cannot be

created or destroyed. Therefore, the total amount of energy stays the same.

• In energy transformations, some energy is always lost to the environment as thermal energy.

Examples of energy transformations and their uses:

· A television changes electrical energy into sound and light energy.

· A toaster changes electrical energy into thermal energy and light.

· A car changes chemical energy from fuel into thermal energy and mechanical

energy.

· A flashlight changes chemical energy from batteries into light energy.

· Solar energy is converted into electrical energy using solar panels.

· Campfires convert chemical energy stored in wood into thermal energy, which

is useful for cooking food and staying warm.

Particles of solids tend to stay very close together from each other when they are pulled That way some solids can turned into thin wires How is that property called?

This is the way we describe the ductility of metals. A ductile metal can be "pulled" (called "drawing" by the industry) and made into wire, or rolled and turned into foil. Copper is drawn into wire and aluminum is rolled into foil, and both metals will stand up to the processes because they have the physical property of ductility. Look below for links.

Is a magnetic domain in everything?

No, magnetic domains are a phenomenon that only occurs in ferromagnetic materials.

What is the formula of work?

work = the exerted force x the distance over which it was exerted

w= f x d

force is measured in newtons (N)

distance is measured in meters (m)

therefore w = M x N a.k.a. joules

Work is measured in Joules (J)

Is body fat solid or liquid?

A fat can be a solid or a liquid. Normally we refer to a liquid fat as an 'oil', but this is for a fatty compound that is liquid at room temperature. All fats can be liquified or solidified, and will still be called 'fats' no matter what.

Would a current be produced if both terminals had the same charge?

Yes. If the termals are connected by wires, charges will flow from one end to the other.

How is a month formed?

A month is formed based on the cycle of the moon around the Earth. It takes about 29.5 days for the moon to complete one orbit, which is why most months have around 30 days. Our calendar system further refines this cycle into months of 28-31 days to align with the solar year.

Why sncl2 is solid but sncl4 is liquid?

SnCl2 is solid because it has a higher melting point due to its crystal lattice structure, which is more stable in the solid state. SnCl4 is liquid at room temperature because it has weaker intermolecular forces between its molecules, allowing them to move more freely and thus exist in a liquid state.

What are people referring to when they speak of 'supercooled' water?

From Wikipedia: "Supercooling, also known as undercooling, is the process of lowering the temperature of a liquid or a gas below its freezing point without it becoming a solid."

What is the definition of line integral?

It means that the integral is calculated along a given line, which may be curved.

Can you eat phosphors?

Although I would not recommend it, yes you can as most are non-toxic.

If however you meant elemental Phosphorus instead of phosphors, NO, some form of Phosphorus are deadly poisons and white Phosphorus spontaneously ignites on contact with air!!!

If you don't know the difference between phosphors and Phosphorus, that is the subject of a different question.

When matter changes from a solid to a liquid it What is?

The process in which a solid changes to a liquid is called melting.
