The band gap for silicon is 1.1eV.(a)Find the ratio of the band gap to kT for silicon at room temperaature 300K.(b)At what tempareture does this ratio become one tenth of the value at 300K?(Silicon will not retain its structure at these high temperatures.)

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Given bandgap `= 1.1.eVT = 300K`
ratio` = 1.1/KT`
`= (1.1)/(8.62xx 10^(-5)xx3xx10^2)`
`= 42.53 =43`
(b)`4.253 = (1.1)/(8.62xx10^(-5)xxT)`
`T = (1.1xx10^5)/(4.253xx8.62)`
`= 3000.47K`

A vertical cylinder of cross-sectional area 0.1m^(2) closed at both ends is fitted with a frictionless piston of mass M dividing the cylinder into two parts. Each part contains one mole of an ideal gas in equilibrium at 300K . The volume of the upper part is 0.1m^(3) and that of lower part is 0.05m^(3) .What force must be applied to the piston so that the volumes of the two parts remain unchanged when the temperature is increased to 500K ?

A solid body X of heat capacity C is kept in an atmosphere whose temperature is T_A=300K . At time t=0 the temperature of X is T_0=400K . It cools according to Newton's law of cooling. At time t_1 , its temperature is found to be 350K. At this time (t_1) , the body X is connected to a large box Y at atmospheric temperature is T_4 , through a conducting rod of length L, cross-sectional area A and thermal conductivity K. The heat capacity Y is so large that any variation in its temperature may be neglected. The cross-sectional area A of hte connecting rod is small compared to the surface area of X. Find the temperature of X at time t=3t_1.
