What is Work

Work the work done by a force acting on a body is the product of the force and the distance moved by its point of application in the direction of the force. If a force f acts in such a way that the displacement s is in a direction that makes an angle 6 with the direction of the force, the work done is given by: w = f • scos9. Work is the scalar product of the force and displacement vectors. It is measured in joules.

What is Work function

Work function a quantity that determines the extent to which thermionic or photoelectric emission will occur according to the richardson equation or einsteins photoelectric equation. It is sometimes expressed as a potential difference (symbol iji) in volts and sometimes as the energy required to remove an electron (symbol w) in electronvolts or joules. The former has been called the work function potential and the latter the work function energy.

What is Work hardening

Work hardening an increase in the hardness of metals as a result of working them cold. It causes a permanent distortion of the crystal structure and is particularly apparent with iron, copper, aluminium, etc.,
Whereas with lead and zinc it does not occur as these metals are capable of recrystallizing at room temperature.

What is World line

World line the history of a particle as represented in "space-time. The position of a particle at time t can be found by slicing space-time at time t and finding where the slice cuts the world line of the particle. The latter is straight if the particle moves uniformly and curved if it moves nonuniformly (i.e. There is acceleration). Light rays can be treated as the world lines of photons. The world lines of particles under the influence of a gravitational field are geodesics in space-time. The world line of a photon near a star, such as the sun, is slightly bent as the light is deflected by the gravitational field of the sun.

What is World Wide Web

World Wide Web (web) a computer-based information service developed at cern in the early 1990s. It is a hypermedia system (see HYPERTEXT) distributed over a large number of computer sites that allows users to view and retrieve information from documents containing links. It is accessed by a computer connected to the internet that is running a suitable program. Web documents may consist of text or other features, such as graphics, still or moving images, or audio clips. Within a document there will be material to be displayed and usually one or more links, which in a text document appear as highlighted words or phrases, or as icons. The links point to other documents located elsewhere on the web by means of a url (universal resource locator), which contains information specifying, for example, the network address of the device holding the document and the local index entry for that document. Activating a link will result in the display of the requested document.

What is Wormhole

Wormhole a solution of einsteins equation for the general theory of relativity chat connects two distant regions in one asymptotically flat universe. These solutions have also been considered in quantum gravity.

There is no experimental evidence for workholes at present but their existence has been postulated in quantum gravity to explain why the cosmological constant is very close to zero and in speculations concerning time travel. Some of these applications of wormholes make use of the tunnel effect, with calculations being performed using instanton techniques. Wormholes are predicted to have a very short lifetime.

What is W Particle

W Particle see w BOSON.

What is Wrought iron

Wrought iron a highly refined form of iron containing 1-3% of slag (mostly iron silicate), which is evenly distributed throughout the material in threads and fibres so that the product has a fibrous structure quite dissimilar to that of crystalline cast iron. Wrought iron rusts less readily than other forms of metallic iron and it welds and works more easily. It is used for chains, hooks, tubes, etc.

What is X-ray astronomy

X-ray astronomy the study of * x-ray sources by rockets and balloons in the earth's atmosphere and by satellites beyond it.

The first nonsolar x-ray source was detected during a rocket flight in 1962, and this observation heralded an entirely new branch of astronomy which developed rapidly with the availability of satellites in the 1970s.

What is X-ray crystallography

X-ray crystallography the use of *x-ray diffraction to determine the structure of crystals or molecules. The technique involves directing a beam of x-rays at a crystalline sample and recording the diffracted x-rays on a photographic plate. The diffraction pattern consists of a pattern of spots on the plate, and the crystal structure can be worked out from the positions and intensities of the diffraction spots. X-rays are diffracted by the electrons in the atoms and if crystals of a compound are used, the electron density distribution in the ions or molecules can be determined. See also NEUTRON DIFFRACTION.

What is X-ray diffraction

X-ray diffraction the diffraction of x-rays by a crystal. The wavelengths of x-rays are comparable in size to the distances between atoms in most crystals, and the repeated pattern of the crystal lattice acts like a diffraction grating for x-rays. Thus, a crystal of suitable type can be used to disperse x-rays in a spectrometer. X-ray diffraction is also the basis of x-ray crystallography. See also BRAGG'S LAW.

What is X-ray fluorescence

X-ray fluorescence the emission of *x-rays from excited atoms produced by the impact of high-energy electrons, other particles, or a primary beam of other x-rays. The wavelengths of the fluorescent x-rays can be measured by an x-ray spectrometer as a means of chemical analysis. X-ray fluorescence is used in such techniques as * electron-probe microanalysis.

What is X-rays

X-rays electromagnetic radiation of shorter wavelength than ultraviolet radiation produced by bombardment of atoms by high-quantum-energy particles. They were discovered by william *roentgen in 1895. The range of wavelengths is 10~n mto 10""9m. Atoms of all the elements emit a characteristic x-ray spectrum when they are bombarded by electrons. The x-ray photons are emitted when the incident electrons knock an inner orbital electron out of an atom. When this happens an outer electron falls into the inner shell to replace it, losing potential energy (ae) in doing so. The wavelength x of the emitted photon will then be given by x = chjae, where c is the speed of light and h is the planck constant. See also
 

What is X-ray sources

X-ray sources sources of x-radiation from outside the solar system. Some 100 sources within the galaxy have been observed as objects that emit most of their energy in the x-ray region of the electromagnetic spectrum and only a relatively small proportion of their energy in the visible spectrum. Many of these x-ray sources appear to be members of a binary system, consisting of one optically visible star and one very compact object; it is thought that the latter is either a *neutron star or (if very massive) a *black hole. Owing to the absorption of x-rays by the earth's atmosphere these x-ray sources are only visible by x-ray telescopes carried by space probes and satellites, although some high-energy x-rays can penetrate the upper atmosphere and are detectable by x-ray telescopes mounted on balloons.

What is X-ray spectrum

X-ray spectrum see X-RAYS.

X-ray tube

X-ray tube a device for generating *x-rays by accelerating electrons to a high energy by an electrostatic field and making them strike a metal target either in a tube containing a low-pressure gas or, as in modern tubes, in a high vacuum. The target is made from a heavy metal, usually tungsten, and is backed by a massive metal anode to conduct the heat away (see illustration showing a liquid-cooled copper anode). The electron beam is produced by heating the cathode by means of a white-hot tungsten filament. A transformer supplies the high voltage, often 100 kv, the tube acting as its own rectifier. On the half-cycles when the target is negative nothing happens. When the target becomes positive, the electrons bombarding it generate x-rays.

What is Yagi aerial

Yagi aerial a directional aerial array widely used for television and *radio telescopes. It consists of one or two dipoles, a parallel reflector, and a series of closely spaced directors (0.15-0.25 wavelength apart) in front of the dipole. When used for reception this arrangement focuses the incoming signal on the dipole. For transmission, the output of the dipole is reinforced by the directors. It is named after hidetsuga yagi (1886-1976).

What is Zeeman effect

Zeeman effect the splitting of the lines in a spectrum when the source of the spectrum is exposed to a magnetic field, it was discovered in 1896 by the dutch physicist pieter zeeman (1865-1943). In the normal zeeman effect a single line is split into three if the field is perpendicular to the light path or two lines if the field is parallel to the light path. This effect can be explained by classical electromagnetic principles in terms of the speeding up and slowing down of electrons in atoms due to the applied field and in terms of the old quantum theory of bohr and sommerfeld. The anomalous zeeman effect is a complicated splitting of the lines into several closely spaced lines, so called because it does not agree with classical predictions or the old quantum theory. This effect is explained by quantum mechanics in terms of electron spin.

What is Zei iinger's principle

Zei iinger's principle the principle that any elementary system carries just one bit of information. This principle was put forward by the austrian physicist anton zeilinger in 1999 and subsequently developed by him to derive several aspects of quantum mechanics.

What is Zener diode

Zener diode a type of semiconductor diode, consisting of a p-n junction with high doping concentrations on either side of the junction. It acts as a rectifier until the applied reverse voltage reaches a certain value, the zener breakdown voltage, when the device becomes conducting. This effect occurs as a result of electrons being excited directly from the valence band into the conduction band (see ENERGY BANDS). Zener diodes are used in voltage-limiting circuits; they are named after the us physicist clarence melvin zener (1905-93).

What is Zodiac

Zodiac a band that passes round the *celestial sphere, extending 9° on either side of the * ecliptic. It includes the apparent paths of the sun, moon, and planets (except pluto). The band is divided into the twelve signs of the zodiac, each 30° wide. These signs indicate the sun's position each month in the year and were named by the ancient Greeks after the zodiacal constellations that occupied the signs some 2000 years ago. However, as a result of the *precession of the equinoxes the constellations have since moved eastwards by over 30° and no longer coincide with the signs.

What is Zodiacal light

Zodiacal light a faint luminous glow in the sky that can be observed on a moonless night on the western horizon after sunset or on the eastern horizon before sunrise. It is caused by the scattering of sunlight by dust particles in interplanetary space.

What is Zone refining

Zone refining a technique used to reduce the level of impurities in certain metals, alloys, semiconductors, and other materials. It is based on the observation that the solubility of an impurity may be different in the liquid and solid phases of a material. To take advantage of this observation, a narrow molten zone is moved along the length of a specimen of the material, with the result that the impurities are segregated at one end of the bar and the pure material at the other. In general, if the impurities lower the melting point of the material they are moved in the same direction as the molten zone moves, and vice versa.

What is Zoom lens

Zoom lens sees TELEPHOTO LENS.

What is Zwitterion

Zwitterion (ampholyte Ion) an ion that has a positive and negative charge on the same group of atoms. Zwitterions can be formed from compounds that contain both acid groups and basic groups in their molecules. For example, aminoethanoic acid (the amino acid glycine) has the formula h2n.ch2.cooh. However, under neutral conditions, it exists in the different form of the zwitterion +h3n.ch2.coo~, which can be regarded as having been produced by an internal neutralization reaction (transfer of a proton from the carboxyl group to the amino group). Aminoethanoic acid, as a consequence, has some properties characteristic of ionic compounds; e.g. A high melting point and solubility in water. In acid solutions, the positive ion +h3nch2cooh is formed. In basic solutions, the negative ion hznch2coo~ predominates. The name comes from the german zwitter, meaning hermaphrodite.

What is Schistosomiasis

Schistosomiasis (bilharzia) Any one ofa group of diseases of humans and some other mammals caused by infestation by blood flukes (trematodes of the genus Sdiis-tosomo). The trematode requires two hosts; the first is an aquatic snail in which larvae emerging from eggs hatched in water de¬velop through several stages, finally to fork-tailed forms (cercariae] which escape from the snail, swim freely in the water, and attach themselves to and penetrate the skin of their second host, a mammal. In the mammalian body they move through blood vessels, feeding upon glyco-gen in the blood plasma and growing, eventually migrating to a site that varies from species to species, where they ma¬ture, mate, and lay eggs. The eggs leave the body in urine or faeces. Symptoms vary ac¬cording to the species causing the in¬festation, but may include swelling and tenderness of the liver, dropsy, enlarge¬ment of the spleen, watery skin eruptions, fever, cough, haemorrhage, diarrhoea, and reduced function of the affected organs. The diseases are common in low latitudes.
