An n-type semiconductor is produced by
A) pure crystals of germanium. B) doping the host crystal with donor impurities. C) doping the host crystal with acceptor impurities.
Radiation: In an electric furnace used for refining steel, the temperature is monitored by measuring the radiant power emitted through a small hole in the wall of the furnace, of area 0.5 cm2. This hole acts like a perfect blackbody radiator having the same temperature as the interior of the furnace. If the temperature of the furnace (and therefore of the hole) is to be maintained at 1650°C, how much power will the hole radiate?
A. 20 W B. 30 W C. 40 W D. 50 W
