MCQ

Assertion: Light Emitting Diode $(\text{LED})$ emit spontaneous radiation.
Reason: $\text{LED}$ are forward $-$ biased $p - n$ junction.
  • A
    Both $A$ and $R$ are true and $R$ is the correct explanation of $A$.
     
  • Both $A$ and $R$ are true but $R$ is not the correct explanation of $A$.
     
  • C
    $A$ is true but $R$ is false.
     
  • D
    $A$ is false and $R$ is also false.

Answer

Correct option: B.
Both $A$ and $R$ are true but $R$ is not the correct explanation of $A$.
 
In semiconductor there may be energy bands due to donor impurities $(E_D)$ near the conduction band or acceptor impurities $(E_A)$ near the valence band.
When electron falls from higher to lower energy level containing holes, the energy is released in the form of radiation.
The energy of radiation emitted by $\text{LED}$ is equal or less than the band gap of the semiconductor used.
The radiation released lies in range of visible light whose colour depends on the semiconductor used.

Assertion (A): For best contrast between maxima and minima in the interference pattern of Young's double slit experiment, the intensity of light emerging out of the two slits should be equal.

Assertion: The probability of electrons to be found in the conduction band of an intrinsic semiconductor at a finite temperature decrease exponentially with increasing band gap.
Reason: It will be more difficult for the electron to cross over the large band gap while going from valence band to conduction band.

Assertion (A): Between any two given energy levels, the number of absorption transitions is always less than the number of emission transitions.
Reason (R): Absorption transitions start from the lowest energy level only and may end at any higher energy level. But emission transitions may start from any higher energy level and end at any energy level below it.
Assertion (A): In process of photoelectric emission, all emitted electrons do not have same kinetic energy.
Reason (R): If radiation falling on the photosensitive surface of metal consists of different wavelengths then energy acquired by electrons absorbing photons of different wavelengths shall be different.

Assertion: ln a chain of bulbs, $50$ bulbs are joined in series. One bulb is removed now the circuit is again completed. If the remaining $49$ bulbs are again connected in series across the same supply, then light gets decreased in the room.
Reason: The resistance of $49$ bulbs will be more than $50$ bulbs.
