Q.

A light emitting diode (LED) is fabricated using GaAs semiconducting material whose band gap is 1.42 eV. The wavelength of light emitted from the LED is:      [2024]

1 650 nm  
2 1243 nm  
3 875 nm  
4 1400 nm  

Ans.

(3)         

               λ(nm)=1240E(eV)

                λ=12401.42=875nm(approx.)
