For \(LED's\)  to emit light in visible region of electromagnetic light, it should have energy band gap in the range of

Pick an option to check your answer.
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(1.7\, eV\) to \(3.0\,eV\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Energy band gap range is given by,

\(E_{g}=\frac{h c}{\lambda}\)

For visible region

\(\lambda=\left(4 \times 10^{-7}-7 \times 10^{-7}\right) \mathrm{m}\)

\({{E_g} = \frac{{6.6 \times {{10}^{ - 34}} \times 3 \times {{10}^8}}}{{7 \times {{10}^{ - 7}}}}}\)

\(=\frac{19.8 \times 10^{-26}}{7 \times 10^{-7}}\)

\(=\frac{2.8 \times 10^{-19}}{1.6 \times 10^{-19}}\)

\(E_{g}=1.75 \mathrm{eV}\)
