Answer:

True.

Explanation:

A diode, which allows current to flow in one direction only, consists of two types of semiconductors joined together.

A semiconductor can be defined as a crystalline solid substance that has its conductivity lying between that of a metal and an insulator, due to the effects of temperature or an addition of an impurity. Semiconductors are classified into two main categories;

1. Extrinsic semiconductor.

2. Intrinsic semiconductor.

An intrinsic semiconductor is a crystalline solid substance that is in its purest form and having no impurities added to it. Examples of intrinsic semiconductor are Germanium and Silicon.

In an intrinsic semiconductor, the number of free electrons is equal to the number of holes. Also, in an intrinsic semiconductor the number of holes and free electrons is directly proportional to the temperature; as the temperature increases, the number of holes and free electrons increases and vice-versa.

In an intrinsic semiconductor, each free electrons (valence electrons) produces a covalent bond.

the illuminance on a surface is 6 lux and the surface is 4 meters from the light source. What is the intensity of the saurce?
Lelechka [254]
L = illuminance
A = surface
i = intensity

L = i / A ==: i = L * A

i = 6 lux * 4 m^2 = 24 lumen

A vertical spring with stiffness k originally is at rest with no mass attached. Then, a mass M is attached, and the spring rocks
Alina [70]

Answer:

The position of the spring in terms of g, m & k is x = \frac{m g}{k}

Explanation:

Stiffness of the spring = k

Mass = m

When a mass m is attached with the spring then spring stretched. in that case the force exerted on the spring is equal to weight of the mass attached.

⇒ Force exerted on the spring F = k x

⇒ m g = k x

⇒ x = \frac{m g}{k}

This is the position of the spring in terms of g, m & k.

A small block of mass 20.0 grams is moving to the right on a horizontal frictionless surface with a speed of 0.68 m/s. The block
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

a) v'=-0.227\ m.s^{-1}

b) v=1.36\ m.s^{-1}

Explanation:

Given:

mass of the lighter block, m'=0.02\kg

velocity of the lighter block, u'=0.68\ m.s^{-1}

mass of the heavier block, m=0.04\ kg

velocity of the heavier block, u=0\ m.s^{-1}

a)

Using conservation of linear momentum:

m'.u'+m.u=m'.v'+m.v

where:

v'= final velocity of the lighter block

v= final velocity of the heavier block

m'.u'=m'.v'+m.v

m'(u'-v')=m.v ........................(1)

Since kinetic energy is conserved in elastic collision:

\frac{1}{2}m'.u'^2=\frac{1}{2}m'.v'^2+\frac{1}{2}m.v^2

m'(u'^2-v'^2)=m.v^2

m'(u'-v')(u'+v')= m.v^2

divide the above equation by eq. (1)

v=u'+v' .............................(2)

now we substitute the value of v from eq. (2) in eq. (1)

m'(u'-v')=m(u'+v')

\frac{m'+m}{m'-m} =\frac{u'}{v'}

\frac{0.02+0.04}{0.02-0.04} =\frac{0.68}{v'}

v'=-0.227\ m.s^{-1} (negative sign denotes that the direction is towards left)

b)

now we substitute the value of v' from eq. (2) in eq. (1)

m'(u'-v+u')=m.v

2m'.u'=(m-m')v

2\times 0.02\times 0.68=(0.04-0.02)\times v

v=1.36\ m.s^{-1}
