$A$ silicon specimen is made into a $p$-type semiconductor by doping,on an average,one indium atom per $5 \times 10^7$ silicon atoms. If the number density of atoms in the silicon specimen is $5 \times 10^{28} \text{ atoms } m^{-3}$,then the number of acceptor atoms in silicon per cubic centimeter will be:

  • A
    $2.5 \times 10^{30} \text{ atoms } cm^{-3}$
  • B
    $2.5 \times 10^{35} \text{ atoms } cm^{-3}$
  • C
    $1 \times 10^{13} \text{ atoms } cm^{-3}$
  • D
    $1 \times 10^{15} \text{ atoms } cm^{-3}$
