SECTION-B
2. Derive Laue?s equations of diffraction of X rays and obtain Bragg?s diffraction condition
from them.
3. What is reciprocal lattice? Why it is named so? How is reciprocal lattice constructed?
4. Explain the crystal structure of diamond. In diamond crystal what is the number of
nearest neighbours, the number of atoms per unitcell and packing fraction?
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?
