Best Answer

The plasma frequency,

(5)

is the most fundamental time-scale in plasma physics. Clearly, there is a different plasma frequency for each species. However, the relatively fast electron frequency is, by far, the most important, and references to ``the plasma frequency'' in text-books invariably mean the electron plasma frequency.

What are physical properties of plasma?

Plasma is a neutral mixture of charged and neutral particles. Some charged particles are not bound or move-able under an electric field. The plasma charge density supports current flows. The Plasma has a resonant frequency related to its charge density. Plasmas can reflect electromagnetic waves, transmit and absorb electromagnetic waves.


What is the type of radiation stopped in the ionosphere?

Eletromagnetic radiation with a frequency below the ionosphere's plasma frequency will generally be reflected. The specific frequency depends on the density of ionospheric plasma which can vary at different altitudes, but also different geomagnetic latitudes and from day to night. For a typical daytime mid-latitude ionosphere, the most dense part of the ionosphere, (the "F" region), will reflect radio frequencies up to ~2.8Mhz (assuming an electron density of 1e11 m-3).


How offtenly you can donate the blood?

In the US, whole blood can be donated every 56 days (8 weeks), platelets up to 24 times a year and volunteer plasma as determined by each independent blood collection facility. Source plasma collection (paid plasma donations) vary on frequency of collection, depending on the need.


What does cumilating mean?

CUMILATIVE: Its a engineering term ,for example cumilative frequency means by adding frequency of a given class to sum total of all the lower classes.for instance first class has a frequency of 2 and second class has frequency of 4 therefore the cumilative frequency becomes 6,the third has a frequency of 7,so the cumilative frequency is 13 it goes likes.....good luck for all hope u got the meaningfrom DASTAGIR.....PLASMA


Why does the FM radio wave remain unaffected by such a plasma?

Just about all radio noise is amplitude modulated. FM radios use Frequency Modulation and is unaffected.


Can you say that thermal plasma is hot plasma and non-thermal plasma is cold plasma?

A plasma consists of an gas in which some gas atoms/molecules are ionised. If it is is in thermal equilibrium then in order to maintain the needed level of ionisation will require that the gas is very hot. Of the order of 4-5,000 degrees Celsius. In a non-thermal plasma the electrons are hot enough to ionise the gas but the gas is at a different temperature. This can be achieved by heating the electrons by using a microwave or radio frequency field. As the electrons are light they do not exchange energy with the gas very efficiently. So in a non-thermal plasma the gas can be cold.


What is difference between ICP and DCP?

The sources in both ICP and DCP are different. An ICP (inductively coupled plasma) can be generated by directing the energy of a radio frequency generator into a suitable gas, usually ICP argon. Other plasma gases used are Helium and Nitrogen. A direct-current plasma (DCP) is created by an electrical discharge between two electrodes. A plasma support gas, commonly ICP argon, is necessary.


Why did Nikola Tesla invent a plasma ball?

This is the first time someone mentions the plasma ball in the few years I been in wikianswers. I like this question because with the plasma ball we could see how Tesla conducted his experiments. Tesla invented the plasma lamp for his experiments with high frequency currents of electricity in a vacuum glass tube, scientifically called an "evacuated tube" The Plasma Ball or lamp was actually first named by Tesla as "an inert gas discharge tube" for a better description. He wanted better light bulbs and he created those as well.
