The electrical conductivity of a semiconductor increases when electromagnetic radiation of wavelength shorter than 2480 nm is incident on it. The band gap for the semiconductor is :

  1. A 0.5 eV
  2. B 0.7 eV
  3. C 0.9 eV
  4. D 1.1 eV
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 0.5 eV

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(E_g = \frac{hc}{\lambda}\) \(E_g = \frac{1240 \text{ eV} \cdot \text{nm}}{2480 \text{ nm}}\) \(E_g = 0.5 \text{ eV}\)
