What is wedge shape?
It is a shape in which two inclined planes are joined together to form a sharp edge.
Why are fringes straight?
The fringes are straight because the thickness of air is constant over a straight line along the width of the wedge.
What will happen if we white light?
Coloured fringes will be formed.
What is fringes width?
Fringe width is the distance between two consecutive bright or dark fringes.
Why we use glass plate inclined?
It turns the light rays by 90° so that the rays will fall normally on the slit.
What is threshold frequency?
The minimum frequency of incident radiation for photoelectron emission to take place.
Stopping potential?
The potential at which the current flow through the circuit stops
Saturation current?
The maximum value of photoelectric current is called as saturation current
What is thermal conductivity?
Thermal conductivity is the property of the material that indicates the ability of the material to conduct heat.
Unit of thermal conductivity?
W / mk
Why is disc circular?
To avoid loss of heat or for even heat distribution.
Why can't it be used for good conductors?
Bcoz the temperatures T1 and T2 would be almost same.
Why steam is used?
Because steam carries more heat than water.
Thermal conductivity depends upon what?
rate of heat transfer, temperature, surface area
H = kA(T2 - T1) / x What is H?
H is the steady state rate of heat transfer
What is photoelectric effect?
Emission of electrons when electromagnetic radiation hits the metal surface.
What is stopping potential?
The potential at which the current through the circuit stops.
What is threshold frequency?
Minimum frequency of incident radiation for photoelectron emission to take place.
What is threshold wavelength?
Minimum wavelength of incident radiation for photoelectron emission to take place.
What is work function?
Minimum energy of incident radiation for photoelectron emission to take place.
Significance of planks constant?
To find work function of metal.It tells us relation between energy and frequency.It tells the energy of 1 quanta.Energy of 1 quanta = hv
What is Saturation current?
The maximum value of photoelectric current.
What is reverse bias?
In reverse bias the reverse voltage slows down the flow of electrons and finally stops them.
Full form of CRO?
Cathode ray Oscilloscope
