11. Bohr’s three postulates are as follows
(1) In a hydrogen atom, an electron revolves in certain stable orbits, called stationary orbits without the
emission of radiant energy. [1]
h nh
(2) The stationary orbit are those for which the angular momentum is some integral of , i .e. L  ,
2 2
where n is an integer called a quantum number [1]
(3) The third postulate states that an electron might make a transition from one of its specified non-
radiating orbits to another of lower energy. When this transition takes place, a photon is emitted
having energy equal to the energy difference between the initial and final states. The frequency ()
of the emitted photon is then given by
h = Ei – Ef [1]

12. (a) Answer (i) Conductor have positive temperature coefficient of resistance while semiconductor and
insulator have negative temperature coefficient of resistance [1]
(b) Answer (i)
For semiconductor Eg < 3 eV while
For insulator Eg > 3 eV
Hence material having band gap 1.4 eV is semiconductor [1]
(c) Answer (ii)
When silicon is doped with phosphorus, then semiconductor becomes of n-type because phosphorus is
pentavalent [1]
(d) Answer (ii)
When silicon is doped with trivalent atoms then number of holes increases and semiconductor becomes
of p-type. i.e. ne << nh [1]
(e) Answer (iii)
Since all types of semiconductors are electrically neutral i.e. total negative charge is equal to total positive
charge i.e. Na + ne = Nd + nh [1]
