Question
Explain the Doppler's effect.
✓
Answer
Whenever there is a relative motion between a source of sound and the listener, the apparent frequencies of sound heard by the listener is different from the actual frequency of sound emitted by the source.
For sound the observed frequency v' is given by
$\text{v}'=\Big(\frac{v+v_0}{v+v_\text{s}}\Big)\text{v}$
For sound the observed frequency v' is given by
$\text{v}'=\Big(\frac{v+v_0}{v+v_\text{s}}\Big)\text{v}$

A semiconducting material has a band gap of 1eV. Acceptor impurities are doped into it which create acceptor levels 1meV above the valence band. Assume that the transition from one energy level to the other is almost forbidden if kT is less than $\frac{1}{50}$ of the energy gap. Also, if kT is more than twice the gap, the upper levels have maximum population. The temperature of the semiconductor is increased from 0K. The concentration of the holes increases with temperature and after a certain temperature it becomes approximately constant. As the temperature is further increased, the hole concentration again starts increasing at a certain temperature. Find the order of the temperature range in which the hole concentration remains approximately constant.
