Delta-v (physics) such as determining the change in momentum (impulse), where :formula_4, where formula_5 is momentum and m is mass. Delta-v (physics) Delta comes as the 4th letter in the greek alphabets which is spell as 'D' in the english alphabets . In general physics, delta-"v" is simply a change in velocity. The Greek uppercase letter delta is the standard mathematical symbol to represent change in some quantity. Depending on the situation, delta-"v" can be either a spatial vector (Δv) or scalar (Δ"v"). In either case it is equal to the acceleration (vector or scalar) integrated over time: If acceleration is constant,
Law of mass action formula. The law of mass action also has implications in semiconductor physics. Regardless of doping, the product of electron and hole densities is a constant at equilibrium. This constant depends on the thermal energy of the system (i.e. the product of the Boltzmann constant, formula_20, and temperature, formula_21), as well as the band gap (the energy separation between conduction and valence bands, formula_22) and effective density of states in the valence formula_23 and conduction formula_24 bands. When the equilibrium electron formula_25 and hole formula_26 densities are equal, their density is called the "intrinsic" carrier density formula_27 as this would be
