Can Si be used to make LEDs ?
3 Answers↳
Technically: Yes. But it has an indirect bandgap, so you really wouldn't want to. Less
↳
The energy bandgap of Si at room temperature is 1.12eV. Since the relationship between photon energy and wavelength is E(eV)=1.24/wavelength(micrometers), one can calculate that Si could emit a ligth in infrared optical spectrum: wavelength=1.24/1.12eV=1.11 micrometers. BUT, Si is indirect semiconductor! And therefore does not emit significant amounts of light due to the requirement of momentum conservation in optical transitions. Less
↳
Si can be used as a substrate in LEDs, but it cannot be used in the p-n junction because the bandgap energy is too small to produce visible light. Less

Estimate the number of flat tyres in the US in a year?
3 Answers↳
345632. How can you say that? Go count yourself
↳
Give a ball park figure based on your reasoning. Should be simple

If a glass of water is half full and you put ice in it, when ice melts, the water level will increase of decrease or remain constant? Give scientific reason.
2 Answers↳
The ice will float with a fraction of the ice cube sticking above the surface which is determined by the ratio of the density of water to the density of ice. Since these densities do not change as the ice melts, the fraction of ice above the water surface will never change. Since the fraction of ice above the water's surface never changes, the volume decrease of ice below the water surface during melting is always exactly replaced with an equivalent volume of melt. Therefore the water level in the glass will not change throughout the melting process. Less
↳
It will remain constant

How many barbers to cut men's hair in a city of 2 million people?
2 Answers↳
I got the same answer, based on eight hour work days with 2 weeks of vacation each year. Based on the interviews I have read, if CREE hired the barbers, they would only need 1500, since they would be working 80-hour weeks. Less
↳
~3000 barbers. Work your way to the answer.

How do you find your computer's IP address? What are DNAs made of? How do you break the bonds between DNA? What does a double helix look like? What is mean, median, mode, standard deviation? Ideal work environment? Ideal manager? Any work environment that you won't survive?
2 Answers↳
Double helix looks like a twisted ladder.
↳
Mean is the average. Median is the middle number of the set of numbers arranged in a numerical order. Mode is the number that has the most repetitions. Std deviation is a measure of how spread out numbers are. Less
