- Among the main characteristics of optical fibers, indicate which of the following is not included:(a) Opacity and Rigidity(b) Flexibility(c) Transparency(d) Low thicknessarrow_forwardMost ceramic materials have low thermal conductivities because(a) Electron mobility is strongly restricted due to their strong ionic-covalent bonding.(b) False, in general they are excellent thermal conductors (they are used in ovens).(c) Electron mobility is dependent on T and therefore they are poor conductors at high temperatures.(d) Electron mobility is highly restricted by secondary bonds.arrow_forwardSi increases its conductivity when doped with Ga and P.(a) True, because the conduction mechanism is due to electrons and holes generated by Ga and P as the case may be.(b) True, because a completely different compound is generated.(c) False, because when impurities are introduced, the opposite occurs.(d) False, because the conductivity of Si is only determined by the increase in temperature, which must be controlled.arrow_forward
- Indicate whether a configuration and a microstate are the same:a) Yesb) No, a microstate encompasses several configurationsc) No, a configuration is the same as a macrostated) No, a configuration encompasses several microstatesarrow_forwardThe representation of a one-dimensional velocity distribution function for a gas, with increasing temperature the maximum occurs for vi = 0 m/s. Correct?arrow_forwardThe representation of a one-dimensional velocity distribution function for a gas, as the temperature increases:a) it becomes more flattenedb) the maximum occurs for vi = 0 m/sExplain it.arrow_forward
- The velocity distribution function of gas moleculesa) is used to measure their velocity, since the small size of gas molecules means that it cannot be measured in any other wayb) is only used to describe the velocity of particles if their density is very high.c) describes the probability that a gas particle has a velocity in a given interval of velocitiesarrow_forwardExplain why in the representation of a one-dimensional velocity distribution function for a particular gas, the maximum occurs for vi = 0 m/s.arrow_forwardExplain why the representation of a one-dimensional velocity distribution function for a particular gas becomes flatter as the temperature increases.arrow_forward
