Holes heavier than Electrons?


1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
give a simple argument which will explain why holes in semiconductors are generally heavier and less mobile than electrons.


2. Relevant equations



3. The attempt at a solution
Is it something to do with the fact that the hole represents the movements of alot of electrons rather than just one?
