II.Torque (Nm)
III. Current (A)
IV. Power (W)
Which of the above are the correct S. I: units of the quantities indicated?

A.

I and II only

B.

I and III only

C.

I, II and III only

D.

Silicon doped with aluminum and germanium doped with arsenic become?

A.

p- and n- types respectively

B.

n- en p- type respectively

C.

p- type semiconductor

D.

n- type semiconductors

Correct answer is A

When silicon, a four valency element, is doped with aluminum, a three valency element, a p-type semiconductor is produced where the major carriers are the electrons.
Thus, the correct option is p-type and n-type respectively

The energy E of a photon and it's wavelength are related by Eλ = X. the numerical value of X is?

[h = 6.63 x 10-34js, c = 3 x 108 ms-1]

A.

6.6 X 10-28

B.

1.99 X 10-27

C.

6.60 x 10-26

D.

1.99 x 10-25

Correct answer is D

E = HF = (hc)/λ
Eλ = hc
∴ X = hc ==6.63 x 10-34 x 108
= 1.989 x 10-25
=1.99 x 10-25
