Consider a GaAs semiconductor at room temperature (T = 300 K). The bandgap energy is Eg = 1.42 eV. The electron-to-hole effective mass ratio is me*/mh*=0.134. It is given that the separation between the Fermi level (located in the bandgap) and the top of the valence band is 4 times the separation between the bottom of the conduction band and the Fermi level. Find the ratio of the electron concentration in the conduction band to the hole concentration in the valence band.
