Which are the types of carrier movements and how are they activated

Drift - As a result of an electric field

Diffusion - As a result of a carrier gradient, by other words a difference in the carrier level from one side to the other, usually when we have a p-n junction

How does a thermal nuclear reactor work?


Given that a light ray enters a glass prism at angle of 50 degrees from the normal and is refracted to an angle of 30 degrees from the normal, calculate the speed of light in glass.


I have an infinite number of glass blocks stacked side by side. The first block has refractive index n1, the second n2 and so on, such that n1<n2...<n(infinity). I shine a light on the stack, what angle does the ray make to the normal on the last block?
