Chapter 10: Q31E (page 468)

The vertices of a tetrahedron are four vertices of a cube symmetrically chosen so that no two are adjacent. Show that the angle between the vertices of a tetrahedron is 109.5鈭� .

Short Answer

Expert verified

Proved that Angle between Vertices of a tetrahedron is 109.50.

Step by step solution

01

Definition of tetrahedron

A tetrahedron also referred to as a triangle pyramid in geometry, is a polyhedron with four triangular faces, six straight edges, and four vertex corners.

02

Step-2: Basic use of trigonometry and Pythagoras Theorem.

In triangle AOD, assuming the Cube has two-unit-length-sides.

OD=1AD=12+12=2AO=AD2+OD2=(2)2+12=3

Using Trigonometry,

Cos鈭�AOD=13=33

鈭�AOD=cos鈭�133=54.740

So, the Required Angle

鈭�AOB=2鈭�AOD=2脳54.740=109.50

Hence it is proved that Angle between Vertices of a tetrahedron is 109.50.

Question: - A semimetal (e.g., antimony, bismuth) is a material in which electrons would fill states to the top of a band the valence band--except for the fact that the top of this band overlaps very slightly with the bottom of the next higher band. Explain why such a material, unlike the "real" metal copper, will have true positive charge carriers and equal numbers of negative ones, even at zero temperature.

For the four kinds of crystal binding 鈥� covalent, ionic, metallic, and molecular- how would the destiny of valence electrons vary throughout the solid? Would it be constant, centered on the atoms, or largest between the atoms? Or would it alternate, with a net charge density positive at one atom and negative at the next?

Question: When electrons cross from the n-type to the p-type to equalize the Fermi energy on both sides in an unbiased diode they leave the n-type side with an excess of positive charge and give the p-type side an excess of negative. Charge layers oppose one another on either side of the depletion zone, producing. in essence, a capacitor which harbors the so-called built-in electric

field. The crossing of the electrons to equalize the Fermi energy produces the dogleg in the bands of roughly Egap , and the corresponding potential differerence

is Egap /e. The depletion zone in a typical diode is wide, and the band gap is 1.0 eV. How large is the built-in electric field?

Question:In Chapter 4. we learned that the uncertainty principle is a powerful tool. Here we use it to estimate the size of a Cooper pair from its binding energy. Due to their phonon-borne attraction, each electron in a pair (if not the pair's center of mass) has changing momentum and kinetic energy. Simple differentiation will relate uncertainty in kinetic energy to uncertainty in momentum, and a rough numerical measure of the uncertainty in the kinetic energy is the Cooper-pair binding energy. Obtain a rough estimate of the physical extent of the electron's (unknown!) wave function. In addition to the binding energy, you will need to know the Fermi energy. (As noted in Section 10.9, each electron in the pair has an energy of about EF.) Use 10-3 eV and 9.4 eV, respectively, values appropriate for indium.

Question: The magnetic field at the surface of a long wire radius R and carrying a current I is 渭0I2蟺R . How large acurrent could a 0.1 mm diameter niobium wire carry without exceeding its 0.2 T critical field?
