Electronic Devices Question 230

Question: A P-type semiconductor has acceptor levels 57 meV above the valence band. The maximum wavelength of light required to create a hole is (Planck’s constant h = $ 6.6\times {{10}^{-34}} $ J-s)

[MP PET 1995]

Options:

A) $ 57{AA} $

B) $ 57\times {{10}^{-3}}{AA} $

C) $ 217100{AA} $

D) $ 11.61\times {{10}^{-33}}{AA} $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

$ E=\frac{hc}{\lambda } $

Therefore $ \lambda =\frac{hc}{E} $

$ =\frac{6.6\times {{10}^{-34}}\times 3\times 10^{8}}{57\times {{10}^{-3}}\times 1.6\times {{10}^{-19}}} $

$ =217100{AA} $ .
