Question
There are energy bands in a solid. Do we have really continuous energy variation in a band or do we have very closely spaced but still discrete energy levels?
✓
Answer
A solid consists of a combination of closely spaced energy levels. These energy levels are discrete but they have very small energy gap between two consecutive levels so they are referred as band. However, the energy levels in the band are discrete.

A heavy string is tied at one end to a movable support and to a light thread at the other end as shown in figure, The thread goes over a fixed pulley and supports a weight to produce a tension. The lowest frequency with which the heavy string resonates is 120Hz.
