Assignment 11

PHY114 (2023‐24‐I)
Week‐8 (to be discussed on 19‐10‐2023)

Problems to be submitted by Students –1, 2, 3, 5, 7


Problems to be solved in the tutorial – 4, 6 , 8

1. Estimate the size of the CdTe quantum dots in the four solutions that gave out different
colours when ultraviolet light was passed through them, as demonstrated in lecture 27. For
this, use the parameters given in the lecture slides.
2. Problem 3 (Eisberg and Resnick, 2nd Edition Chapter 6).

3. Problem 8 (Eisberg and Resnick, 2nd Edition Chapter 6).

4. Problem 10 (Eisberg and Resnick, 2nd Edition Chapter 6).

5. Problem 15 (Eisberg and Resnick, 2nd Edition Chapter 6).

6. Problem 17 (Eisberg and Resnick, 2nd Edition Chapter 6).

7.
8. In the phenomena of cold emission, electrons are drawn from a metal at room temperature
by an externally applied electric field, as shown in the figure. Here shaded region shows the
states filled by electrons and Φ represents the work function. Electrons coming out are
mainly from the uppermost energy level at energy 𝐸 .

(i) For applied electric field ℰ, write the functional form of the potential 𝑉 𝑥 .
(ii) Using only the exponential factor in the expression for transmission through a rectangular
barrier, find the transmission coefficient for electron for the applied electric field ℰ. The
equation obtained is known as the Fowler‐Nordheim equation and is used to calculate
tunnelling current in the situation given.
