In an intrinsic semiconductor,the energy gap $E_{g}$ is $1.2 \; eV$. Its hole mobility is much smaller than electron mobility and independent of temperature. What is the ratio between conductivity at $600 \; K$ and that at $300 \; K$? Assume that the temperature dependence of intrinsic carrier concentration $n_{i}$ is given by $n_{i} = n_{0} \exp \left(-\frac{E_{g}}{2 k_{B} T}\right)$,where $n_{0}$ is a constant.
