Answer

Pure tungsten:
$\phi=4.5\text{eV}$
$\text{A}=60\times10^{4}\text{A/m}^2-\text{k}^2$
$\text{i}=\text{AST}^2\text{e}^{\frac{\phi}{\text{KT}}}$
Thoriated tungsten:
$\phi=2.6\text{eV}$
$\text{A}=3\times10^{4}\text{A/m}^2-\text{k}^2$
$\text{i}_{\text{Thoriated Tungsten}}=5000\text{i}_{\text{Tungsten}}$
So, $5000\times\text{S}\times60\times10^{4}\times\text{T}_2\times\text{e}^{\frac{-4.5\times1.6\times10^{-19}}{1.38\times\text{t}\times10^{-23}}}$
$\Rightarrow\text{S}\times3\times10^{4}\times\text{T}^2\times\text{e}^{\frac{-2.56\times1.6\times10^{-19}}{1.38\times\text{T}\times10^{-23}}}$
$\Rightarrow3\times10^{8}\times\text{e}^{\frac{-4.5\times1.6\times10^{-19}}{1.38\times\text{t}\times10^{-23}}}=\text{e}^{\frac{-2.56\times1.6\times10^{-19}}{1.38\times\text{T}\times10^{-23}}}\times3\times10^4$
Taking 'in'
$\Rightarrow9.21\text{T}=220.29$
$\Rightarrow\text{T}=\frac{22029}{9.21}=2391.856\text{K}$

A prism is a portion of a transparent medium bounded by two plane faces inclined to each other at a suitable angle. A ray of light suffers two refractions on passing through a prism and hence deviates through a certain angle from its original path. The angle of deviation of a prism is, $\delta=(\mu-1)\text{A},$ through which a ray deviates on passing through a thin prism of small refracting angle A.
If $\mu$ is refractive index of the material of the prism, then prism formula is, $\mu=\frac{\frac{\sin(\text{A}\delta_\text{m})}{2}}{\frac{\sin\text{A}}{2}}$

Hydrogen is the simplest atom of nature. There is one proton in its nucleus and an electron moves around the nucleus in a circular orbit. According to Niels Bohr, this electron moves in a stationary orbit. When this electron is in the stationary orbit, it emits no electromagnetic radiation.The angular momentum of the electron is quantized, i.e., ⁣$\text{mvr}=\big(\frac{\text{nh}}{2\pi}\big)$ where m = mass of the electron, v = velocity of the electron in the orbit, r = radius of the orbit and n = 1, 2, 3, .... When transition takes place from Kth orbit to Jth orbit, energy photon is emitted. If the wavelength of the emitted photon is $\lambda$ we find that $\frac{1}{\lambda}=\text{R}\bigg[\frac{1}{\text{J}^2}-\frac{1}{\text{K}^2}\bigg]$where find that On a different planet, the hydrogen atom's structure was somewhat different from ours. The angular momentum of electron was $\text{P}=2\text{n}\Big(\frac{\text{h}}{2\pi}\Big)$ i.e., an even multiple of $\Big(\frac{\text{h}}{2\pi}\Big)$.
