Questions/problems for Solid State Physics I

AI Thread Summary
Recommendations for sources of questions and solutions for Solid State Physics I courses include exploring various university websites, particularly for past exams. The Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) offers a collection of exams and solutions in English, accessible despite the site being in Norwegian. The terms "Løsningsforslag" and "Oppgave" indicate suggested solutions and exam exercises, respectively. Many other universities may also provide public access to their exams. Utilizing these resources can greatly aid in understanding topics from crystal structures to semiconductors.

I would personally recommend visiting different universities' websites for exams. For instance, here is a list of some exams at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU): http://home.phys.ntnu.no/instdef/arkiv/eksamen/tfy4220/ for an introductory course on solid state physics, using Kittel's book.

OBS! The site is in Norwegian, but easy to navigate all the same. All exams and solutions are in English [pdf]!
"Løsningsforslag" means "Suggested Solution"
"Oppgave" means "Exam (exercises)"

I bet there are multiple other universities having their exams out public. Hope this helps somehow.

comparing a flat solar panel of area 2π r² and a hemisphere of the same area, the hemispherical solar panel would only occupy the area π r² of while the flat panel would occupy an entire 2π r² of land. wouldn't the hemispherical version have the same area of panel exposed to the sun, occupy less land space and can therefore increase the number of panels one land can have fitted? this would increase the power output proportionally as well. when I searched it up I wasn't satisfied with...
