Show Answer

Solution:

Ans. (i) Photodiode is fabricated with a transparent window to allow light to fall on the diode.

(ii) (a) Working : When a reverse biased photodiode is illuminated with the light of energy greater than the forbidden energy gap (Eg), the electronhole pairs are generated in, or near, the depletion region. Due to junction field, electrons collected on the n-side and holes on p-side, giving rise to a potential difference.
