5. What are the drawbacks of Einstein’s model of specific heat? Explaining the assumptions clearly, derive an expression for the lattice specific heat according to Debye model.
6. Distinguish between Type I and Type II superconductors. Discuss BCS theory of superconductivity.
7. Derive an expression for the density of electrons in the conduction band of an n-type semiconductor. What happens to the Fermi level as the temperature increases?

NOTE : Disclosure of Identity by writing Mobile No. or Making of passing request on any page of Answer Sheet will lead to UMC against the Student.
