Questions Related to band theory of solids, a brief introduction
Carbon, silicon and germanium have four valence electrons each. These are characterised by valence and conduction bands separated by energy band gap respectively equal to $(E _g) _C,\, (E _g) _{Si}$ and $(E _g) _{Ge}$.Which of the following statements is true?
The band gap is larger for which of the following
The electrical conductivity of a semiconductor increases when electromagnetic radiation of wavelength shorter than $2480\ nm$ is incident on it. The band gap in $(eV)$ for the semiconductor is.
The difference between the highest energy in a band and lowest energy in the next higher band is called the band gap between the two energy bands.
In extrinsic semiconductors :
Among the following, the wrong statement in the case of semiconductor is:
At absolute zero, Si acts as
What is the resistivity of a pure semiconductor at absolute zero ?
Which one is the weakest type of bonding in solids ?
The intrinsic semi conductor becomes an insulator at
