6.If ‘a’ stands for the edge length of the cubic systems : simple cubic, body centred cubic and face centred cubic, then the ratio of radii of the spheres in these systems will be respectively,
a) \[\frac{1}{2}a :\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}a:\frac{1}{2\sqrt{2}}a\]
b) \[\frac{1}{2}a :\sqrt{3}a:\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}a\]
c) \[\frac{1}{2}a :\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}a:\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}a\]
d) \[1a :\sqrt{3}a:\sqrt{2}a\]

7. With which one of the following elements silicon should be doped so as to give p-type of semiconductor ?
a) Germanium
b) Arsenic
c) Selenium
d) Boron

Answer: d
Explanation: The semiconductors formed by the introduction of impurity atoms containing one elecron less than the parent atoms of insulators are termed as p-type semiconductors. Therefore silicon containing 14 electrons is to be doped with boron containing 13 electrons to give a p-type semi-conductor.
