1. What is a diode biasing? Explain 2 types of biasing (forward & reverse).
Diode biasing is the process of applying an external DC voltage to a PN junction diode to control its operation and determine whether it will allow or block the flow of electric current.
The two types of biasing are:
Forward Biasing:
Connection: The positive terminal of the external voltage source is connected to the P-type material, and the negative terminal is connected to the N-type material.
Operation: This applied...

... Classical Free Electron Theory and Assumptions
The Classical Free Electron Theory (or Drude-Lorentz model) treats a metal as a container of free electrons (an "electron gas") moving randomly within a fixed lattice of positive ions. When an external electric field is applied, these electrons experience a force and "drift" in the opposite direction, creating a current.
Assumptions:
Classical Mechanics: The free electrons are treated as classical particles and obey Maxwell-Boltzmann statistics.
Free
...COMPTON EFFECT
The Compton effect is the scattering of a high-frequency photon (like an X-ray or gamma-ray) after it collides with a charged particle, typically an electron. During this collision, the photon transfers some of its energy and momentum to the electron. As a result, the scattered photon has less energy and therefore a longer wavelength (λ') than the incident photon (λ).
The change in wavelength, or Compton shift, is given by: Δλ = λ' - λ = (h / m_e c) * (1 - cosθ)
where: h =...
Economy of Mechanism — Keep it small & simple.
Do: Minimize features/LoC in the TCB.
Don’t: Add non‑critical features in the critical path.
Why: Fewer bugs, easier audits.
Ex: Remove optional TLS extensions; use minimal parsing.
Fail‑Safe Defaults — Default deny; whitelist not blacklist.
Do: Permit only when explicitly allowed; fail‑closed on errors.
Don’t: Expose services publicly by default.
Ex: Firewalls drop by default; S3 buckets private
It gives a common checklist and language for quality (like usability, reliability, security), so teams set clear goals. It breaks each into measurable sub-points, which guide design and testing. Result: better coverage, fewer surprises, and software built and verified against the right qualities.
Apache Ant, it improves Maintainability → Modifiability because the build logic lives in one XML file that’s easy to change, and Portability → Installability because scripted one-command builds
Departure (NM)=ΔLongitude (minutes)×cos(Latitude)\text{Departure (NM)} = \Delta \text{Longitude (minutes)} \times \cos(\text{Latitude})Departure (NM)=ΔLongitude (minutes)×cos(Latitude)
Convergency=ΔLongitude×sin(Mean Latitude)\text{Convergency} = \Delta \text{Longitude} \times \sin(\text{Mean Latitude})Convergency=ΔLongitude×sin(Mean Latitude)
