In Figure 10.24, the n=1 band ends at , while in Figure 10.27 it ends at
The resistivity of the silver is at room temperature of (300 K), while that of silicon is about
(a) Show that this disparity follows, at least to a rough order of magnitude from the approximate 1 eV band gap in silicon.
(b) What would you expect for the room temperature resistivity of diamond, which has a band gap of about 5 eV.
Carbon(diamond) and silicon have the same covalent crystal structure, yet diamond is transparent while silicon is opaque to visible light. Argue that this should be the case based only on the difference in band gaps roughly 5 eV for diamond in eV is silicon.
Question: Volumes have been written on transistor biasing, but Figure 10.45 gets at the main idea. Suppose that and that the "input" produces its own voltage . The total resistance is in the input loop, which goes clockwise from the emitter through the various components to the base, then back to the emitter through the base-emitter diode. this diode is forward biased with the base at all times 0.7 V higher than the emitter. Suppose also that Vcc = 12 V and that the "out- put" is . Now. given that for every 201 electrons entering the emitter, I passes out the base and 200 out the collector, calculate the maximum and minimum in the sinusoidally varying

(a) Determine the energies of the two lowest-energy vibrational states.
(b) For these energies, determine the amplitude of vibration if the atoms could be treated as oscillating classical particles.
