It cannot, therefore, be seen directly. Detectors that are sensitive to UV convert it into a form that we can see. Can humans see Violet? […]

Which band gap is largest? So, one good semiconductor material for the future is C (diamond). It has the largest thermal conductivity and band gap of any of the materials from Table 10.2. Diamond also has the largest electron mobility of any material from Table 10.2 with a band gap larger than Si. Why is […]

What can we learn from looking at the light from stars? From spectral lines astronomers can determine not only the element, but the temperature and density of that element in the star. The spectral line also can tell us about any magnetic field of the star. The width of the line can tell us how […]
