Question
Physics Question on band theory of solids
The manifestation of band structure in solids is due to
A
Heisenberg uncertainty principle
B
Pauli?? exclusion principle
C
Bohr?? correspondence principle
D
Boltzmann law
Answer
Pauli?? exclusion principle
Explanation
Solution
According to the Pauli?? exclusion principle, the electronic configuration of number of subshells existing in a shell and number of electrons entering each subshell is found. Hence, on thebasis of the Pauli?? exclusion principle, manifestation of band structure in solids can be explained.
