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.

The stopping potential in a photoelectric experiment is linearly related to the inverse of the wavelength $\Big(\frac{1}{\lambda}\Big)$ of the light falling on the cathode. The potential difference applied across an $X-$ray tube is linearly related to the inverse of the cutoff wavelength$\Big(\frac{1}{\lambda}\Big)$ of the $X-$ray emitted. Show that the slopes of the lines in the two cases are equal and find its value.
