The energy band gap of GaAs is 1.4 eV. Calculate the optimum wavelength of light for photovoltaic generation in GaAs solar cell
(3 marks)

The optimum wavelength = (8.863 × 10⁻⁷) m = 886.3 nm

Explanation:

The light that will generate the photovoltaic energy of 1.4 eV will must have that amount of energy

Energy of light waves is given as

E = hf

h = Planck's constant = (6.626 × 10⁻³⁴) J.s

f = Frequency of the light

The frequency is then further given as

f = (c/λ)

c = speed of light = (3.0 × 10⁸) m/s

λ = wavelength of the light = ?

E = (hc/λ)

λ = (hc/E)

Energy = E = 1.4 eV = 1.4 × 1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ = (2.2428 × 10⁻¹⁹) J

λ = (6.626 × 10⁻³⁴ × 3.0 × 10⁸)/(2.2428 × 10⁻¹⁹)

λ = (8.863 × 10⁻⁷) m = 886 nm

Hope this Helps!!!

  1.the balanced   chemical equation is as below

cu +   2 ag(no)₃ → cu(no₃)₂   +2 ag

2.the   much silver   produced   is   50.9 g

step 1: find the   moles of cu

moles =   mass÷   molar mass

  from periodic table the molar mass of cu = 63.5 g/mol

moles is therefore = 15.00 g÷ 63.5 g/mol = 0.236   moles

step 2: use the mole ratio to determine the   moles of ag

from equation above   cu: ag   is 1: 2

therefore the moles of ag   =0.236   moles   x 2/1 =0.472   moles

step 3: find the mass   of ag

mass = moles x molar mass

from periodic table   the molar mass of ag =107.87 g/mol

mass   = 0.472   moles x 107.87 g/mol = 50.9 g

3.   the   much   silver   collected worth is   1.797 oz

  convert   50.9 g   to oz

that is   1 gram = 0.0353 oz

          50.9 grams =?   oz

by cross multiplication

={(50.9 grams x 0.0353 oz) / 1   gram}   =1.797 oz

terd muffin is the correct answer
