Answer:

I = 4.189 mA    V = 0.338 V

Explanation:

In order to do this, we need to apply the following expression:

I = Is[exp^(qV/kT) - 1]   (1)

However, as the junction of the diode is illuminated, the above expression changes to:

I = Iopt + Is[exp^(qV/kT) - 1]   (2)

Now, as the shunt resistance becomes infinite while the current becomes zero, we can say that the leakage current is small, and so:

I ≅ Iopt

Therefore:

I ≅ I₀Aλq / hc  (3)

Where:

I₀A = Area of diode (radiation)

λ: wavelength

q: electron charge (1.6x10⁻¹⁹ C)

h: Planck constant (6.62x10⁻³⁴ m² kg/s)

c: speed of light (3x10⁸ m/s)

Replacing all these values, we can get the current:

I = (8x10⁻³) * (0.65x10⁻⁶) * (1.6x10⁻¹⁹) / (6.62x10⁻³⁴) * (3x10⁸)

I = 4.189x10⁻³ A or 4.189 mA

Now that we have the current, we just need to replace this value into the expression (2) and solve for the voltage:

I = Is[exp^(qV/kT) - 1]

k: boltzman constant (1.38x10⁻²³ J/K)

4.189x10⁻³ = 9x10⁻⁹ [exp(1.6x10⁻¹⁹ V / 1.38x10⁻²³ * 300) - 1]

4.189x10⁻³ / 9x10⁻⁹ = [exp(38.65V) - 1]

465,444.44 + 1  = exp(38.65V)

ln(465,445.44) = 38.65V

13.0508 = 38.65V

V = 0.338 V

Abnormal protrusion of the eye out of the orbit is known as
kifflom [539]

Answer:

Exophthalmos

Explanation:

Exophthalmos is a disorder which can be either bilateral or unilateral. Sometimes it is also known by other names like Exophthalmus, Excophthamia, Exobitism.

It is basically the bulging of eye anterior out of orbit which if left unattended may result in eye openings even while sleeping consequently resulting in comeal dryness and damage which ultimately may lead to blindness.

It is commonly caused by trauma or swelling of eye surrounding tissues resulting from trauma.

The light intensity incident on a metallic surface with a work function of 1.88 eV produces photoelectrons with a maximum kineti
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

KE = KE (incidental) - KE of emitted photons

or KE = h * f - Wf

So   h * f = KE + Wf = 1.2 + 1.88 = 3.08    incident energy

If you double the frequency then h * f = 6.16

KE = 6.16 - 1.2 = 4.96 eV

Irina-Kira [14]
We simply asked to name three uses for mercury.
The most common and well-known use of mercury is the production of thermometers. It's property to stay liquid at room temperature makes it ideal for a temperature indicator. However, the use of mercury is thermometers has been phased out due to health hazards.
It is also used to form an amalgam which is the result of its combination with silver or gold. Mercury has been used to mine gold and silver. This application has also been phased out.
Today's use of mercury includes mercury-vapor lamps which are the bright lamps used in high-ways.

How long would i t take to walk around the eath nonstop?
zaharov [31]

Divide (25,000) by (the number of miles you can walk in 1 hour).
The answer you get is the number of hours it would take you to walk around the Earth once, IF you were able to walk on water too.
