1634 Question Paper

This document appears to be an exam for a physics course, covering topics related to semiconductor physics. It contains 15 multiple choice questions testing concepts like energy bands, intrinsic/extrinsic semiconductors, and photovoltaic effects. There are also longer answer questions asking to distinguish between semiconductor types, explain band theory and photovoltaic effects with diagrams, and describe quantum dots/wells/wires. Additional questions cover measuring resistivity, optical joint density of states, drift/diffusion currents, stimulated/spontaneous emission, diode characteristics, and deriving effective mass expressions. The exam tests students' understanding of fundamental semiconductor and solid state physics concepts.
