[2]. By increasing temperature, the electrical conductivity [7]. Which one of the following statements with
would: reference to effective mass is incorrect?
A. increase in metals as well as in intrinsic A. It is a function of wave vector K
semiconductors B. It can be positive or negative
B. increase in metals but decrease intrinsic C. It is different from free mass because of lattice
semiconductors interaction
C. decrease in metals but increase in intrinsic D. Its concept is applicable only to electrons and
semiconductors not to holes
D. decrease in metals as well as in intrinsic
semiconductors
[3]. Measurement of Hall coefficient in a semiconductor
provides information on the

B. mass and concentration of charge carriers
C. sign of charge carriers alone
D. sign and concentration of charge carriers
[4]. The resistance of metallic wire would
A. increase as the operating frequency increases
B. decrease as the operating frequency increase
C. remain unaffected on increasing the operating
frequency
D. Initially increase up to a certain value of the

B. transparent to the visible light
C. transparent to the ultraviolet radiation
D. opaque to the infrared rediation
[6]. Hall Effect is observed in a specimen when it (metal or
a semiconductor) is carrying current and is placed in a
magnetic field. The resultant electric field inside the
specimen will be in
