Answer:
λ = 8.88 x 10⁻⁷ m = 888 nm
Explanation:
The energy band gap is given as:
Energy Gap = E = 1.4 eV
Converting this to Joules (J)
E = (1.4 eV)(1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ J/1 eV)
E = 2.24 x 10⁻¹⁹ J
The energy required for photovoltaic generation is given as:
E = hc/λ
where,
h = Plank's Constant = 6.63 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s
c = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s
λ = wavelength of light = ?
Therefore,
2.24 x 10⁻¹⁹ J = (6.63 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s)(3 x 10⁸ m/s)/λ
λ = (6.63 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s)(3 x 10⁸ m/s)/(2.24 x 10⁻¹⁹ J)
<u>λ = 8.88 x 10⁻⁷ m = 888 nm</u>
The 'strength' of the electric field is the force on 1C of charge at that point.
At this 'certain location', the field is 40/5 = 8 newtons per coulomb = <u>8 volts</u>
Answer: Physical changes only change the appearance of a substance, not its chemical composition. Chemical changes cause a substance to change into an entirely substance with a new chemical formula. Chemical changes are also known as chemical reactions.
