    Solid State Physics- Finding concentration of donor atoms (Nd)

    Homework Statement Silicon at T= 300K contains acceptor atoms at a concentration of Na = 5*10^15 cm-3. Donor atoms are added forming an n-type compensated semiconductor such that the fermi level is 0.215 eV below the conduction band edge. What concentration of donor atoms are added...

    Calculus Help: Solving Homework Statement

    Thank you for your help. So with regards to number 2) the zero solution was included in the original DE that's why I must make it a soln in my final equation? It seems confusing that they state y != 0 in the line where we have dy/y. As far as 1) goes I'm still slightly confused. You...

    Calculus Help: Solving Homework Statement

    Homework Statement Hi guys, i need some help with the following: [PLAIN]http://img534.imageshack.us/img534/3079/22742169.jpg I have 2 questions: 1) why do we make it +/- e^c without specifying a domain for x? (this is what i have done in the past for absolute value problems)...

    Clarifying Sound Intensity and Frequency

    i get it thank you! the observed frequency is higher then the source frequency BUT the frequency you observe while stationary is constant until it passes you. Frequency you observe is dependant of the speed of the source. i wonder what would happen if the source moved faster then the wave...

    Clarifying Sound Intensity and Frequency

    I think I am making several mistakes, I am not distinguishing between the observed frequency and the actual frequency. I will reread the section. [PLAIN]http://img35.imageshack.us/img35/2637/40068221.png

    Clarifying Sound Intensity and Frequency

    ok i think i see where i made the mistake: For a stationary source: as the observer moves toward the source with velocity v, the the frequency obsered would increase as well as the intesity. as the observer moves away, the frequency would decrease as well as intensity. for a...

    Clarifying Sound Intensity and Frequency

    Homework Statement Hi guys can someone clarify something in my text. I have included a screenshot, and marked the area in question. Shouldnt it be that as the point source approaches you the intensity AND frequency increase? (see the pitfall prevention)...

    Engineering Why Do I Get a Negative Value for R2 in My Voltage Divider Circuit?

    After some more review, R1 must be 2 times greater then Req in order to get that drop arrcoss the load. Req being the equivalent resistance of R2 and 1000 ohms. Now the current being close to 5ma is the next step.
