The absorption coefficient is 4x10^4 cm-1 and the surface reflectivity os 0.1 for a silicon wafer illuminated with a monochromatic light having a hv of 3 ev. calcuate the depth at which half the incident optical power has been absorbed in the material

Depth,

Explanation:

It is given that,

Absorption coefficient,

Surface reflectivity, T = 0.1

Energy of light, E = 3 eV

We need to find the depth at which half the incident optical power has been absorbed in the material. The relationship between the absorption coefficient and intensity of light is given by :

Since, the incident power is becoming half. So,

Since, ln (0.5) = -0.693

x = 0.0000173 m

or

So, the depth at which half the incident optical power has been absorbed in the material is . Hence, this is the required solution.

it's when something is going so fast it makes a loud noise, breaking the sound barrier, for example: a jet makes a loud noise, not only cause of the jet but because they reached a point where they went so fast that you can year the noise from various parts, kinda like a police car, lets say the car was going   so fast that you hear the siren of the cop car right next to you, but the car is probably a mile a way, it's cos the siren was next to you a few seconds if you understand me

54 degrees incident angle = reflected angle

angle is from normal turned to line of ray
