🔍 Key Concepts

• Semiconductor diode vs. vacuum tube diode basic construction and materials • Typical lifetime and durability of solid‑state devices compared with glass vacuum tubes • Need (or not) for filament warmup time in each device

💭 Think About

• Think about which device has a heated filament and glass envelope, and how that affects warmup time and fragility. • Between vacuum tubes and solid‑state semiconductors, which generally lasts longer in normal service conditions? • Which device is more likely to be damaged by mechanical shock or vibration on a vessel: a glass tube or a small solid‑state component?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which device actually requires filament warmup before operating. • Consider which device usually has a glass envelope and is therefore more fragile under impact. • Recall that solid‑state (semiconductor) components are typically known for long service life compared to older tube technology.
