Consider a situation in which reverse biased current of a particular \(P-N\) junction increases when it is exposed to a light of wavelength \(\le 621\, {nm}\). During this process, enhancement in carrier concentration takes place due to generation of hole-electron pairs. The value of band gap is nearly. (In \({eV}\))
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) \(2\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Band gap \(=\frac{h c}{\lambda_{0}}\)
Where \(\lambda_{0}=\) threshold wavelength
Band gap \(=\frac{1242\, {ev}-\,{nm}}{621\, {nm}}=2\, {ev}\)
