Solar cell A uses a semiconductor with a band gap of 1.1 eV. Solar cell B uses a semiconductor with a band gap of 2.0 eV. Either cell is thick enough to absorb all the light above its band gap energy. Both cells can work together simultaneously with one on top of the other to operate more efficiently in a small space. But which cell has to be on top (first to receive sunlight) for both to work simultaneously and...

Q2 Consider a solar cell made of semiconducting nanocrystals with a bandgap energy of Wg = 0.67 eV. Determine the theoretical efficiency when the solar cell is exposed to the radiation of a 6000-K black body? Assume that photons with less than 3.3 Wg create each one single electron/hole pair and that those with more than 3.3 Wg create 2 electron/hole pairs each owing to impact ionization. [50 marks]

2. Why is it useful to have mechanisms for direct cell to cell communication and for long distance communication with cells not near each other? 3. Why would bacterial cells need to communicate with each other? What is the advantage? Find an example bacteria that communicate and how do they communicate? please answer both questions
