ANSWER :
Effective mass is that mass which an electron seems to have when it is present in the periodic potential in a lattice crystal.
POINTS TO BE REMEMBERED:
- NATURE the graph between the energy and the propagation constant (k) is in the parabolic form.
- electrons or electron holes in a solid, the effective mass is usually stated in units of the rest mass of an electron, me (9.11×10−31 kg).
