An incandescent bulb has a thin filament of tungsten that is heated to high temperature by passing an electric current. The hot filament emits black-body radiation. The filament is observed to break up at random locations after a sufficiently long time of operation due to non-uniform evaporation of tungsten from the filament. lf the bulb is powered at constant voltage, which of the following statement(s) is (are) true?


A) The temperature distribution over the filament is uniform

B) The resistance over small sections of the filament decreases with time

C) The filament emits more light at higher band off requencies before it breaks up

D) The filament consumes less electrical power towards the end of the life of the bulb

Highly excited states for hydrogen-like atoms (also called Rydberg states) with nuclear charge Ze are defined by their principle quantum number n. where n >>1. Which of the following statement(s) is (are) true?

B) Relative change in the radii of two consecutive orbitals varies as 1/n

C) Relative change in the energy of two consecutive orbitals varies as $1/n^{3}$

D) Relative change in the angular momenta of two consecutive orbitals varies as 1/n
