Complete question:

CdTe has a band-gap energy εg of 1.6 eV and a dielectric constant εr of 10.9.

Given that the effective mass ratio of the electron is 0.11 and the effective mass ratio of the hole is 0.35, please calculate the ground-state energy (ie: n=1) of the donor and acceptor bands along with their orbital radii.

Answer:

The ground-state energy for donor is 2.6 meV

The ground-state energy for acceptor is 40.1  meV

Explanation:

Given;

effective hole mass, Mh = 0.35

effective electron mass, Me = 0.11

mass of electron, M₀ = 9.11 x 10⁻³¹

dielectric constant,  εr = 10.9

To determine the donor and acceptor energies, we apply the equation below;

E = 1 Rydberg x m*/(m₀εr²)

E = 13.606 eV x m*/(m₀εr²)

The ground-state energy for donor = 13.606 eV x M*/(M₀εr²)

                                                           = 13.606 eV x Me/(εr²)

                                                           = 13.606 eV x 0.11/((10.9)²)

                                                           = 2.6 meV

The ground-state energy for acceptor  = 13.606 eV x M*/(M₀εr²)

                                                                 =  13.606 eV x Mh/(εr²)

                                                                 = 13.606 eV x 0.35/((10.9)²)

                                                                 = 40.1  meV

An ideal spring hangs from the ceiling. A 1.25-kg mass is hung from the spring. After all vibrations have died away, the spring
ch4aika [34]

The kinetic energy of the mass at the instant it passes back through its equilibrium position is about 1.20 J

\texttt{ }

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Let's recall Elastic Potential Energy formula as follows:

\boxed{E_p = \frac{1}{2}k x^2}

where:

<em>Ep = elastic potential energy ( J )</em>

<em>k = spring constant ( N/m )</em>

<em>x = spring extension ( compression ) ( m )</em>

Let us now tackle the problem!

\texttt{ }

<u>Given:</u>

mass of object = m = 1.25 kg

initial extension = x = 0.0275 m

final extension = x' = 0.0735 - 0.0275 = 0.0460 m

<u>Asked:</u>

kinetic energy = Ek = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

<em>Firstly , we will calculate the spring constant by using </em><em>Hooke's Law</em><em> as follows:</em>

F = k x

mg = k x

k = mg \div x

k = 1.25(9.8) \div 0.0275

k = 445 \frac{5}{11} \texttt{ N/m}

\texttt{ }

<em>Next , we will use </em><em>Conservation of Energy</em><em> formula to solve this problem:</em>

Ep_1 + Ek_1 = Ep_2 + Ek_2

\frac{1}{2}k (x')^2 + mgh + 0 = \frac{1}{2}k x^2 + Ek

Ek = \frac{1}{2}k (x')^2 + mgh - \frac{1}{2}k x^2

Ek = \frac{1}{2}k ( (x')^2 - x^2 ) + mgh

Ek = \frac{1}{2}(445 \frac{5}{11}) ( 0.0460^2 - 0.0275^2 ) + 1.25(9.8)(0.0735)

\boxed {Ek \approx 1.20 \texttt{ J}}

A cyclist is traveling 10 m/s with an acceleration of 6 m/s2. How fast is the cyclist traveling at the end of 20 seconds
krok68 [10]

Answer:

<em>The cyclist is traveling at 130 m/s</em>

Explanation:

<u>Constant Acceleration Motion </u>

It's a type of motion in which the velocity of an object changes by an equal amount in every equal period of time.

Being a the constant acceleration, vo the initial speed, vf the final speed, and t the time, the following relation applies:

v_f=v_o+at

The cyclist initially travels at 10 /s and it's accelerating at a=6m/s^2. We need to know the new speed when t= 20 seconds have passed.

Apply the above equation:

v_f=10+6\cdot 20

v_f=10+120

v_f=130\ m/s

The cyclist is traveling at 130 m/s
