Question

xl4. If the valence band energy of a certain material is 0.2ev, and the band gap energy is 1.2eV, what is the conduction band energy 17. The electron microscope my advisor uses accelerates electrons through a voltage of 400kv. which means the electrons have an energy of 6.408x10 J. is the What wavelength of these electrons? 18. If semiconductor that makes up a solar cell has a bandgap energy of 1.43ev. what wavelength of light will cause electrons to be excited from the valence band to the conduction band? 19. If you stand 3ft in front of a mirror and see your reflection 5ft behind the mimor, are you looking at a plane, concave, or convex mirror? Conca what is the wavelength of a photon if its i?ls this photon in energy is 1 the visible region of the spectrum?

Explanation / Answer


16) Ev = 0.2 eV, Eg = 1.2 eV

Ec = 0.2+1.2 = 1.4 eV

17) K = 6.408*10^-14 J

lamda =h/p = h/(2mK)^0.5

lamda = 6.63*10^-34/(2*9.1*10^-31*6.408*10^-14)^0.5

lamda = 1.94*10^-12 m

18) E = 1.43 eV

E(eV) =1243/lamda(nm)

1.43 = 1243/lamda

lamda = 869 nm

19) from mirror formula

1/f = 1/s +1/s'

1/f = 1/3 -1/5

f = +7.5 ft

f is positive, so it is concave mirror

20) E = hc/lamda

1.55*10^-19 = 6.63*10^-34*3*10^8/lamda

lamda = 1.28 um
