Abimetallic strip consists of two metals: a on top and b at bottom. at temperature 00c this bimetallic strip was rigidly attached to the vertical wall with one end, so strip is horizontal. we know that coefficient of thermal expansion of metal a is less than coefficient of thermal expansion of metal b. temperature starts to raise. what happens to the bimetallic strip?

a. nothing happens
b. it contracts in horizontal direction
c. it bends down
d. it bends up
e. it expands in horizontal direction

In the 1980's, congress authorized the u.s. department of energy to build the wipp facility in the chicuahuan desert in new mexico. what is the purpose of wipp?

Some material consisting of a collection of microscopic objects is kept at a high temperature. a photon detector capable of detecting photon energies from infrared through ultraviolet observes photons emitted with energies of 0.3 ev, 0.5 ev, 0.8 ev, 2.0ev, 2.5ev, and 2.8ev. these are the only photon energies observed. (a) draw and label a possible energy-level diagram for one of the microscopic objects, which has four bound states. on the diagram, indicate the transitions corresponding to the emitted photons. explain briefly. (b) would a spring–mass model be a good model for these microscopic objects? why or why not? (c) the material is now cooled down to a very low temperature, and the photon detector stops detecting photon emissions. next, a beam of light with a continuous range of energies from infrared through ultraviolet shines on the material, and the photon detector observes the beam of light after it passes through the material. what photon energies in this beam of light are observed to be significantly reduced in intensity (“dark absorption lines”)? explain briefly.

True or false graphs must include scales that increase by the same amount
