Explanation

(a) λmax=hcE=6.6×10-34×3×1081.14×1.6×10-19=10888Å

The mobility of free electrons is greater than that of free holes because

Explanation

(d) Electrons require low energy for mobility as they suffer low resistance during their motion as compared to holes.

In a semiconducting material, the mobilities of electrons and holes are μe and μh respectively. Which of the following is true?

Explanation

(a) Because electrons needed less energy to move.

A silicon speciman is made into a P-type semi-conductor by dopping, on an average, one Indium atom per 5×107 silicon atoms. If the number density of atoms in the silicon specimen is 5×1028 atoms/m3 then the number of acceptor atoms in silicon per cubic centimetre will be

Explanation

(c) Number density of atoms in silicon specimen = 5×1028 atom/m3 = 5×1022 atom/cm3. Since one atom of indium is doped in 5×107 Si atom. So number of indium atoms doped per cm3 of silicon.

n=5×10225×107=1×1015 atom/cm3

The probability of electrons to be found in the conduction band of an intrinsic semiconductor at a finite temperature

You've reached today's free limit of 20 questions. Log in to keep practising for free.
Explanation

(a) The probability of electrons to be found in the conduction band of an intrinsic semiconductor

PE=11+eE-EFkT   ; where k = Boltzmann's constant
Hence, at a finite temperature, the probability decreases exponentially with increasing band gap.

The peak voltage in the output of a half-wave diode rectifier fed with a sinusoidal signal without filter is 10 V. The dc component of the output voltage is

Explanation

(b) In half wave rectifier Vdc=V0π=10π

The contribution in the total current flowing through a semiconductor due to electrons and holes are 34 and 14 respectively. If the drift velocity of electrons is 52 times that of holes at this temperature, then the ratio of concentration of electrons and holes is

Explanation

(a) As we know current density J=nqv

Je=neqve  and Jh=nhqvhJeJh=nenh×vevh3/41/4=nenh×520nenh=65

How does the energy gap between successive energy levels in an atom vary from low to high n values?

You've reached today's free limit of 20 questions. Log in to keep practising for free.
Explanation

(b) As value of n increases, energy gap decreases due to increasing Zeff. on valence shell.

The mean free path (λ) of a gas sample is given by:

Explanation

(b) A derivation for mean free path of gas.

  • If v is the velocity of the moving molecule then in one second it will collide with all moleculeswith in a distance σ between the centres.
  • In one second it sweeps a volume πσ2v where any other molecule will collide with it.
  • If n is the total number of molecules per unit volume, then nπσ2v is number of collisions a molecule suffers in one second.
  • If v is the distance traversed by molecule in one second then mean free path is given by
         λ = total distance traversed in one second /no. of collision suffered by the molecules
          =v/πσ2vn
          =1/πσ2n
  • This expression was derived with the assumption that all the molecules are at rest except the one which is colliding with the others.
