Draft:Solids/Quiz

Solids is a lecture from the physics department and the school of geology.

You are free to take this quiz based on solids at any time.

To improve your score, read and study the lecture, the links contained within, listed under See also, External links, and in the and  templates. This should give you adequate background to get 100 %.

As a "learning by doing" resource, this quiz helps you to assess your knowledge and understanding of the information, and it is a quiz you may take over and over as a learning resource to improve your knowledge, understanding, test-taking skills, and your score.

Suggestion: Have the lecture available in a separate window.

To master the information and use only your memory while taking the quiz, try rewriting the information from more familiar points of view, or be creative with association.

Enjoy learning by doing!

{Complete the text: Condensed noble gases, most notably liquid { xenon|argon (i) } and liquid { argon|xenon (i) }, are excellent radiation detection { media (i) }.
 * type="{}"}

 * type=""}

{Complete the text: The electronic band structure of a solid describes those ranges of { energy (i) } called energy { bands (i) } that an electron within the solid may have, called { allowed (i) } bands and ranges of energy called band gaps or { forbidden (i) } bands, which it may not have.
 * type="{}"}

{True or False, The density distributions of a solid or unit of condensed matter involving more than atoms or molecules is not discrete like a spectral density but continuous. + TRUE - FALSE
 * type=""}

{True or False, Local variations, most often due to distortions of the original system, are often called local density of states. + TRUE - FALSE
 * type=""}

Hypotheses

 * 1) A glass is easier to detect than a crystalline solid.
 * 2) A crystalline solid is easier to detect than a liquid.
