Homework Statement
Homework Equations
Debye approximation.
The Attempt at a Solution
For the first question (a) he has taken the lowest energy transition to be 0.2eV. (3eV-2.8eV with k=0)
For the second question (b) he has taken the lowest energy transition to be at k=1. (it works out as 0.15eV)
I understand why it's taken at k=1 for the electron but why is the lowest energy transition taken at k=0 for the first question?
Thanks for any help clearing this up.
