Q. 9
In a photodiode,
Answer :
The conduction if take place if the energy provided to the electron is more equal or more than the band gap.
Given:
Maximum wavelength at which the conduction starts
∴ this wavelength provides minimum energy to the electron to move to conduction band,
Energy of this radiation=Energy band gap
∴ energy band gap = 2.003eV ≅ 2eV
