At what temperature the semiconductor behaves like conductor?

1 answer:

5 0

Answer:

A semiconductor acts like an ideal insulator at absolute zero temperature that is at zero kelvin. It is because the free electrons in the valence band of semiconductors will not carry enough thermal energy to overcome the forbidden energy gap at absolute zero.

Two objects, Object A and Object B, need to be identified. Object A's index of refraction is determined to be 1.77, and Object B

Slav-nsk [51]

The correct answer is

C. Light can pass through Object B faster than it can pass through Object A.

In fact, the index of refraction of a material is defined as:

$n=\frac{c}{v}$

where c is the speed of light in vacuum and v is the speed of light in the material. Rearranging the equation, we can write the speed of light in the material as:

$v=\frac{c}{n}$

So we that, the smaller the refractive index n, the greater the speed of light in the material, v. In this problem, object B has lower refractive index than object A, so light travels faster in object B.

Answer: $4.21 \times 10^{-10} J/cm^4$

$1 kPa= 10^3 Pa$

$1 km=10^5 cm$

$1kPa/km=0.01 Pa/cm$

$1kPa/km=10^{-8} J/cm^4$

$\Rightarrow r= 0.0421 kPa/km= 0.0421 kPa/km \times \frac{10^{-8} J/cm^4}{1 kPa/km}= 0.0421 \times 10^{-8}J/cm^4=4.21 \times 10^{-10} J/cm^4$
