Q 1 :    

The acceptor level of a p-type semiconductor is 6 eV. The maximum wavelength of light which can create a hole would be (Given hc = 1242 eVnm.)          [2024]

  • 407 nm

     

  • 207 nm

     

  • 103.5 nm

     

  • 414 nm

     

(2)         

              Energy=hcλ;

               E=1242λ(nm)eV6=1242λ(nm)

               λ=12406=207nm

 



Q 2 :    

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]

  • 650 nm

     

  • 1243 nm

     

  • 875 nm

     

  • 1400 nm

     

(3)         

               λ(nm)=1240E(eV)

                λ=12401.42=875nm(approx.)
