Spanish Modernism and the Generation of 98: Key Features and Influences

Photoelectric Effect and Superconductivity
Photoelectric effect: The energy needed to remove an electron from a surface. φ is the minimum energy needed for an electron to escape. Light consists of photons, and one photon is absorbed by one electron. An electron can escape if hf > φ. The kinetic energy of an emitted electron is less than hf – φ. Electrons below the surface do work to reach the surface.
Superconductivity: A material has zero resistance. Resistance decreases with temperature until

The Nervous System: An Overview
The nervous system’s basic units are neurons, responsible for receiving sensory information and transmitting responses. A neuron consists of a cell body, short branching extensions called dendrites, and an extension called an axon. Glial cells, including astrocytes, microglia, and Schwann cells, also play crucial roles.
Functions of the Nervous System
The nervous system’s function relies on connections between neurons. Sensory neurons transmit impulses from organs to

Welfare State
Welfare is based on the principles of equality of opportunity, equitable distribution of wealth, and public responsibility for those unable to avail themselves of the minimal provisions for a good life.
