Question
Write any three characteristics of nuclear force.
✓
Answer
(i) The nature of nuclear force is attractive.
(ii) Nuclear force is a short-range force. This force becomes negligible when the distance between nucleons is more than $1 \times 10^{-14}$ meters. This force remains effective only at distances less than this. Therefore it is called short range force.
(iii) Nuclear force is very strong. At a distance of $2 \times 10^{-15}$ meters the nuclear force is about 100 times the electric force.
(iv) The nature of nuclear force becomes repulsive at a distance of $0.5 \times 10^{-15}$ metres.
(v) Nuclear force does not depend on charge. Therefore, it occurs equally between proton-neutron or proton-proton or neutron-neutron. Due to this nature of nuclear force, the question of the stability of the nucleus is solved.

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.
