    Is max sound intensity at the displacement node in a standing wave?

    Good afternoon all My question is, when we observe stationary waves, and we know that at a certain point, the sound is maximum, is this the displacement node or the displacement antinode? I have read a few different sources and currently i have encountered both. To me it makes more sense...

    Origin of the depletion region in a p-n junction

    That sort of makes sense Thanks all for your input :)

    Origin of the depletion region in a p-n junction

    I see what you are saying, I think the problem I am having is that, will valence electrons diffuse over? I was under the impression that valence electrons move to cover holes only via electrostatic attraction. With what you are saying then electrons move from covalent bond to covalent bond via...

    Origin of the depletion region in a p-n junction

    Oh yes i know what hole movement actually is, but the elctrons that diffuse over don't come from the covalent bonds. they are already delocalised and hence when they diffuse over they don't leave behind extra holes. ( i know there are already holes in the ntype side due to the normal intrinsic...

    Origin of the depletion region in a p-n junction

    Hi the first step to this is usually described as diffusion of electrons from the n type to the p type. However I have encountered sites and books that state that holes diffuse from p type to n type as well. I am of the opinion that only the electrons diffuse, and that there is no diffusion of...
