A spectrometer is used to detect plasma oscillations in a sample. The spectrometer
can work in the range of 3 × 10ଵଶ rad s1 to 30 × 10ଵଶ rad s1. The minimum
carrier concentration that can be detected by using this spectrometer is n × 10ଶଵ
m. The value of n is _____________ (Round off to two decimal places)
(Charge of an electron = -1.6 × 10ିଵ C, mass of an electron = 9.1 × 10ିଷଵ kg
and 𝜖 = 8.85 × 10ିଵଶ C2 N1 m2)
