An LED is constructed from a \(p-n\) junction diode using GaAsP. The energy gap is \(1.9 \mathrm{eV}\). The wavelength of the light emitted will be equal to

  1. A \(10.4 \times 10^{-26} \mathrm{~m}\)
  2. B \(654 \mathrm{~nm}\)
  3. C \(654 Å\)
  4. D \(654 \times 10^{-11} \mathrm{~m}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(654 \mathrm{~nm}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The energy of light of wavelength \(\lambda\) is given by \(E=h v=\frac{h c}{\lambda}\) Here, \(h=\) Planck's constant \(=6.63 \times 10^{-34} \mathrm{~J}-\mathrm{s}\)…
