A p-n junction is fabricated from a semiconductor with band gap of \(2.8 \mathrm{eV}\). What approximate wavelength it cannot detect? [use \(\mathrm{h}=6 \times 10^{-34} \mathrm{~m}^2 \mathrm{~kg} / \mathrm{s}\) ]
- A \(100 \mathrm{~nm}\)
- B \(200 \mathrm{~nm}\)
- C \(400 \mathrm{~nm}\)
- D \(600 \mathrm{~nm}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) \(600 \mathrm{~nm}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
For \(\lambda=600 \mathrm{~nm}\) \[ \mathrm{E}=\frac{1240}{600}=2.07 \mathrm{eV} \] which is less than \(2.8 \mathrm{eV}\). So, photodiode ( \(\mathrm{P}-\mathrm{n}\) junction) cannot detect the signal. For, \(\lambda 2.8 \mathrm{eV}\). So, photodiode will always detect signal.
