The barium-yttrium ceramic compound used to demonstrate superconductivity will work only if supercooled to a temperature of 125 K. What is the equivalent temperature a) in °C? b) in °F?
A pure lead bar 10 cm long is maintained with one end at T = 300 K and the other at 310 K. The thermoelectric potential difference thus induced across the ends is 12.8 μV. Find the thermoelectric power for lead in this temperature range. (Note: Q varies nonlinearly with temperature, but over this narrow temperature range, you may use a linear approximation.)
(a) Repeat Exercise 31.2, and convert the energy to joules or calories. (b) If all of this energy is converted to thermal energy in the gas, what is its temperature increase, assuming 50.0 cm3 of ideal gas at 0.250atm pressure? (The small answer is consistent with the fact that the energy is large on a quantum mechanical scale but small on a macroscopic scale.)

Hint:Although the band gap and the density of states vary with temperature, those variations are much slower compared to the exponential factor e^(-Eg/2KT). Please give some insight to this problem and go over the equations and steps needed to solve for the Max temperature. Thank you .
The simple mass on a spring is the basis for our description of almost any oscillation. Lets consider the vibrational states of a simple diatomic molecule, say N2. We will model it as two identical masses connected by a spring as shown in the figure at the top right.This is a little different from the cart on a spring since there is no wall -- both of the atoms are moving. But if we only look at oscillations of the molecule where the center of mass is not moving, the atoms are moving equally and oppositely. When one is going left, the other goes an equal amount to the right and vice versa. This is like two carts attached to a wall and oscillating equally and oppositely as shown in the lower picture. The only difference is the way we treat the spring. When each atom moves a distance x, the spring between the atoms actually stretches a distance 2x, so the force on each atom is -2kx. We can therefore model the motion of one of the nitrogen atoms as a single cart on a spring if we…

A population inversion for two energy level is often described by assigning a negativeKelvin temperature to the system. What negative temperature would describe asystem in which the population of the upper energy level exceeds that of the lowerenergy level by 10% and the energy difference between two levels is 2.1 eV?
A triatomic molecule can have a linear configuration, as does CO2 (as shown), or it can be nonlinear, like H2O (as shown). Suppose the temperature of a gas of triatomic molecules is sufficiently low that vibrational motion is negligible. What is the molar specific heat at constant volume, expressed as a multiple of the universal gas constant, (a) if the molecules are linear and (b) if the molecules are nonlinear? At high temperatures, a triatomic molecule has two modes of vibration, and each contributes 1/2 R to the molar specific heat for its kinetic energy and another 1/2 R for its potential energy. Identify the high-temperature molarspecific heat at constant volume for a triatomic ideal gas of (c) linear molecules and (d) nonlinear molecules. (e) Explain how specific heat data can be used to determine whether a triatomic molecule is linear or nonlinear. Are the data as shown sufficient to make this determination?
