Question
In semiconductors, at a room temperature:

Answer

  1. The valence band is partially empty and the conduction band is partially filled.
Explanation:
In semiconductors at room temperature the electrons get enough energy so that they are able to over come the forbidden gap. Thus at room temperature the valence band is partially empty and conduction band is partially filled.

A circular coil of $500$ turns of wire has an enclosed area of $0.1 \mathrm{~m}^2$ per turn. It is kept perpendicular to a magnetic field of induction $0.2 T$ and rotated by $180^\circ $ about a diameter perpendicular to the field in $0.1 \sec.$ How much charge will pass when the coil is connected to a galvanometer with a combined resistance of $50$ ohms
Two wires $A$ and $B,$ having identical geometrical construction, are stretched from their natural length by small but equal amount. The Young's modulus of the wires are $Y_A$ and $Y_B$ whereas the densities are $\rho_\text{A}>\rho_{\text{B}^+}$ It is given that $Y_A > Y_B$ and $\rho_\text{A}>\rho_{\text{B}^+}.$ A transverse signal started at one end takes a time $t_1$ to reach the other end for $A$ and $t_2$ for $B.$
