MCQ
A light emitting diode $(LED)$ is fabricated using GaAs semiconducting material whose band gap is $1.42 \mathrm{eV}$. The wavelength of light emitted from the $LED$ is:
  • A
    $650 \mathrm{~nm}$
  • B
    $1243 \mathrm{~nm}$
  • $875 \mathrm{~nm}$
  • D
    $1400 \mathrm{~nm}$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$875 \mathrm{~nm}$
c
$\lambda=\frac{1240}{1.42}=875 \mathrm{~nm}$ $(Approx)$
