SECTION E
CASE STUDY QUESTION
34.Materials are classified on the basis of their conductivity as metals,
semiconductors and insulators. Metals are having low resistivity and high
conductivity. While semiconductors are having resistivity and conductivity in
between metals and insulators. And finally insulators are those which are having
high resistivity or very low conductivity. Semiconductors may exist as elemental
semiconductors and also compound semiconductors. Si and Ge are elemental
semiconductor and CdS, GaAs, CdSe, anthracene, polypyrrole etc. are the compound
semiconductors. Each electron in an atom has different energy level and such
different energy levels continuing forms the band of energy called as energy bands.
Those energy band which has energy levels of Valence electrons is called as Valence
band. And the energy band which is present above the Valence band is called as
conduction band. On the basis of energy bands materials are also defined as metals,
semiconductors and insulators. In case of metals, conduction band and Valence
band overlaps with each other due to which electrons are easily available for
conduction. In case of insulators, there is some energy gap between conduction
band and Valence band due to which no free electrons are easily available for
conduction. And in semiconductors, there is a small energy gap between conduction
band and Valence band and if we give some external energy then electron from
Valence band goes to conduction band  due to which conduction will be possible.
These semiconductors are classified as intrinsic semiconductors and extrinsic
semiconductors also. Intrinsic semiconductors are those semiconductors which
exist in pure form. And intrinsic semiconductors has number of free electron is equal
to number of holes. The semiconductors doped with some impurity in order to
increase its conductivity are called as extrinsic semiconductors. Two types of
dopants are used they are trivalent impurity and pentavalent impurity also. The
extrinsic semiconductors doped with pentavalent impurity like Arsenic, Antimony,
Phosphorus etc are called as n – type semiconductors. In n type semiconductors
electrons are the majority charge carriers and holes are the minority charge carriers.
When trivalent impurity is like Indium, Boron, Aluminium etc are added to extrinsic
semiconductors then p type semiconductors will be formed. In p type
semiconductors holes are majority charge carriers and electrons are the minority
charge carriers.

a) conductor
b) metal
c) non metal
d) insulator

Q 3.) If the energy band gap Eg> 3 eV then such materials are called as
a) conductors
b) semiconductors
c) insulators
d) superconductors
Q 5.) How p-type and n-type semiconductors are formed?
35. An optical fibre is a thin tube of transparent material that allows light to pass through, without being
refracted into the air or another external medium. It make use of total internal reflection. These fibres are
