MCQ
The electrical conductivity of a semiconductor increases when electromagnetic radiation of wavelength shorter than $2480 \;nm$ is incident on it. The band gap in $(eV)$ for the semiconductor is
  • A
    $0.9$
  • B
    $0.7$
  • $0.5$
  • D
    $1.1$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$0.5$
c
$E_{g}=h v$

$=\frac{h c}{\lambda}=\left(\frac{6.63 \times 10^{-34} \times 3 \times 10^{8}}{2480 \times 10^{-9} \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19}}\right) eV$

$=0.5 eV$
