$A$ silicon specimen is made into a $p$-type semiconductor by doping,on an average,one indium atom per $5 \times 10^7$ silicon atoms. If the number density of atoms in the silicon specimen is $5 \times 10^{28} \text{ atoms } m^{-3}$,then the number of acceptor atoms in silicon per cubic centimeter will be:

In pure silicon,the electron-hole concentration at $T = 300 \ K$ is $7 \times 10^{15} \ m^{-3}$. Antimony is added as an impurity to silicon at a rate of $1$ atom per $10^7 \ Si$ atoms. Assume that half of the impurity atoms contribute their electrons to the conduction band. Calculate the factor by which the number of charge carriers increases. Given: the number density of silicon atoms is $5 \times 10^{28} \ m^{-3}$.
