(a) Silicon (50 g) has been doped with 27 mg of antimony (Sb). Determine the concentration of free charge carriers (carriers/cm3) at room temperature in this material.

(b) Calculate the absorption edge of this material. Express your answer as a wavenumber in units of inverse meters.

a) 6.22*10^18

No idea for b) any thoughts or how to for b)?
b please...
b) 10^7 / lamda*(wavelength in nm)
something wrong i cant got it
rufus, please what is answer
1.09E13
WRONG
wavenumber= Eg / hc

Eg(Silicon band energy)= 1.11 eV (to joules)
h=6.6*10^-34
c=3*10^8

wavenumber= Eg*1.6*10^-19 / hc = 896969.69
thanks
Thank you for the explanation.
