But unfortunately only one ticket was left. They purchased the single ticket and decided that A would be in the hall during the 1 half and B during the 2" hale. Both of them reached the hall together. A entered the hall and found that the seat was behind a pillar which created an obstacle. He was disappointed. He thought that he would not be able to hear the programme properly. Bwas waiting outside the closed door. The door was not fully closed. There was alittle opening. But surprisingly, Accould hear the music programme. , This happened due to diffraction of sound. a ‘The fact we hear sounds around comers and around barriers involves both diffraction and reflection of sound, Ditton in such eas helps the sound to "bend a around” the obstacles. ml In fact, diffraction is more pronounced with longer wavelengths implies that we can hear low frequencies around obstacles better than high frequencies. B was outside the door. He could also hear the programme. But he noticed that when the door opening is comparatively less he could hear the programme even better. This is because when the width of the opening is larger than the wavelength of the wave passing through the gap then it does not spread out much on the other side.

The electron energy will be same if all the atoms are isolated, ie, separated from each other by a large distance, However, in a crystal, the atoms are close to each other (2A to 3A) and therefore the elecirons interact with each other and also with the neighbouring atomic cores. The overlap (or interaction) will be more felt by the electrons in the outermost orbit while the inner orbit or core electron energies may remain unaffected. Therefore, for understanding electron energies in Si or Ge erystal, we need to consider the changes in the energies of the electrons in the outermost orbit only. For Si, the outermost orbit is the third orbit ( = 3), while for Ge it is the fourth orbit (n = 4), Each Si and Ge has four valence electrons, but eat a given temperature has more free electrons and a higher conductivity compared to Si.
